Flutter - how to filter debug console in vscode

Question

For a few days, and without changing anything, at least deliberately, in DEBUG CONSOLE in VSCODE I get messages like:

W/.arae_bluep         


        

Answer 1

According to this issue it looks like it is not currently possible to filter the debug console in Visual Studio Code, however you could use the filter text field in the logging tab of the Dart DevTools in order to filter the logs that are sent to the console. I appreciate that this means that you would need to have the Dart DevTools open in addition to Visual Studio Code, however this would be a useable workaround until such a time as the ability to filter the debug console is implemented in Visual Studio Code.

A basic Debug Console filter was released 4 days ago. Upgrade VSCode to pick it up: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/102704

Answer 3

The ability to filter the Debug Console text is coming to v1.49 (see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_49.md#debug-console-filter):

Debug console now supports filtering. This should make it easier for users to find the output they are looking for in the Debug Console and to be able to hide irrelevant logs. Filter also supports the exclude patterns which should be prefixed with !. User evaluations are not respecting the filter and are always shown. Like other input boxes in VS Code you can use up and down arrow to navigate between old filter inputs.
