How to see the output of gs.debug() function

[Johannes Mweli]

Hi ServiceNow Community Developers,

If I am using the gs.debug() function in a scoped application where do I go to see the output that was printed out by the function?

For instance, if I use gs.log() in a global application I normally navigate to "Script Log Statements" and I would see the output there. For gs.debug() how & where do I see the output? Please advise.

Thanks,

Johannes

Go to the sys_app table (e.g. type sys_app.list in the Application navigator search box), find your scoped app record in the list and open it.

Down in the Related links, you'll see "enable session debugging" - click it.

You'll then see your gs.debug/gs.info/gs.warn/gs.error statements at the bottom of standard lists and forms and as of New York, you'll also see them in the Script Debugger on the session log tab.

There may be an easier way, but this is how I do it (since System Applications> Applications no longer brings you to sys_app.list).

For what it's worth, output from gs.debug/info/warn/error also go to System Logs> All - great for asynchronous operations.
