Not sure if it’s a bug or not, but the console output panel suddenly stopped working. In an attempt to make it work again I clicked “Debug/Run with Debugger” which resulted in an error:

I restarted the network and then the computer with no luck. What am I missing?

Update: I noticed the “Target Discovery Log” looks a bit sad too:

I tried to “Restart Target Discovery” which didn’t seem to help.

Found the “issue”! I was using the Defold App Manifest generator and had ticked “Release”, which mutes the console. Unticked release and the console is alive again.
