Kantu Logs - show [echo] only

With the Kantu Logs, I have the folowing options:

  • All - shows [info],[status],[echo],[error]
  • Echo - shows [status],[echo],[error]
  • Error - shows [error]
  • No log - shows nothing

Is it possible to add Status so that Echo shows only [echo] and [error]

  • All - shows [info],[status],[echo],[error]
  • Status - shows [status],[echo],[error]
  • Echo - shows [echo],[error]
  • Error - shows [error]
  • No log - shows nothing

When I’m testing/debugging, I insert [echo] in my code to show values, what state I am, etc. But the [status] gets in the way of the flow. I can of course, just store them locally, then filter them out.

I’m using the [echo] to show the end user what’s happening. For now, I’m writing out what’s happening to a CSV file instead. And then the user can open it at the end to confirm that all the steps were completed (basically, looping through a CSV and taking an action for each row. The output CSV would show the results for each row)

This is a useful idea. I added it to our todo list.

Just to complete your list: Echo… #shownotification and the prompt command are also good ways to inform the users.

Hi @admin. Just wondering if you have the opportunity to be implementing this change soon. Here’s an example of how I use it. Note that I also log it in a CSV file that the user can inspect later. But having it interactively show the progress would be great

CURRENT

[status] Playing macro MainModule
[echo] 6 - VOLKSWAGEN
[status] Running ‘SubModule’, called by ‘MainModule’
[status] Playing macro SubModule
[status] Finished running ‘SubModule’, returning to ‘MainModule’
[status] Playing macro MainModule
[echo] 7 - DAIMLER
[status] Running ‘SubModule’, called by ‘MainModule’
[status] Playing macro SubModule
[status] Finished running ‘SubModule’, returning to ‘MainModule’
[status] Playing macro MainModule
[echo] 8 - ALLIANZ
[status] Running ‘SubModule’, called by ‘MainModule’
[status] Playing macro SubModule
[warning] Web page connection issue. Retrying last command.
[status] Finished running ‘SubModule’, returning to ‘MainModule’
[status] Playing macro MainModule
[echo] 9 - BMW GROUP

DESIRED - only show [echo]

[echo] 6 - VOLKSWAGEN
[echo] 7 - DAIMLER
[echo] 8 - ALLIANZ
[echo] 9 - BMW GROUP

With the CURRENT implementation, the user only sees the last 9 [echo] items as looks like the Logs window will show only about 60 lines. So all the [status] updates uses up the lines.

With the DESIRED implementation, user would see all the 39 items in the example I show above.

As always, thank you for all the work on UI.Vision / Kantu. Looking forward to see this implementation in a future release.

Hi @admin. Any updates on when this might be implemented?

I appreciate that you have a lot more important things to do but this shouldn’t be that difficult and would be very useful. Thanks!

It would be fantastic having this feature +1

A different suggestion:
why wont we change the filter menu to be menu of checkboxes, where the user will choose what type of lines (combinations) he want to see (status, error, echo, etc)

Available now in V6.1.1:
