[SOLVED] Issue: no log output on error | Appwrite | Page 1

I have tried this on multiple machines with a fresh install of AppWrite:
Based on example on https://appwrite.io/docs/server/databases?sdk=nodejs-default#databasesCreate

const sdk = require("node-appwrite");

module.exports = async function (req, res) {
  const client = new sdk.Client();
  const database = new sdk.Databases(client);

  if (
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'] ||
    !req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY']
  ) {
    // Changed 'console.warn()' to 'console.log()' or else I would never see this message.
    console.log("Environment variables are not set. Function cannot use Appwrite SDK.");
  } else {
    client
      .setEndpoint(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_ENDPOINT'])
      .setProject(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_PROJECT_ID'])
      .setKey(req.variables['APPWRITE_FUNCTION_API_KEY'])
      .setSelfSigned(true);
  }

  const promise = database.create(sdk.ID.unique(), 'test');
  
  // This part does not output anything :( (see attached images)
  promise.then(function (response) {
      console.log(response);
  }, function (error) {
      console.log(error);
  });

  res.json({
    areDevelopersAwesome: true,
  });
};

Am I missing something?

Console log logs don't appear in the logs/errors tabs
It will be implented in future
You can see more here https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/discussions/5016 at the section Logging

Ok! I will keep that in mind, thanks for the fast reply.

For now what I'm doing is to add the logs back to the request when I'm developing, like so

  let logs = '';
  // This part does not output anything :( (see attached images)
  promise.then(function (response) {
    logs = response;
  }, function (error) {
    logs = error;
  });

  res.json({
    logs: logs,
    areDevelopersAwesome: true,
  });

Great, I will copy your solution for now. I thought it may have been a bug :p

This may help anyone facing the same issue.
Avoid using .then() and .catch()! Use async, await in combination with a try/catch block:

try {
  const response = await database.create(sdk.ID.unique(), 'test');
  console.log(response)
} catch (error) {
  console.log(error)
}

Logging like this will work.
In addition: throwing errors will (intentionally) fail the function and will be listed under the "Errors" tab. See attached image for example.

if (!payload.name) {
  throw new Error('No name was supplied, aborting...');
}
