How to output to console

Alex Williams

Hello,

I have recently taken over a project repository and when running the program I am unable to use any of the outputting methods mentioned in the response here such as qInfo(), qDebug() etc.:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3886105/how-to-print-to-console-when-using-qt

These functions work as expected with other QT Projects I have written, but don't in the project I have inherited.

Do you have any advice for what the problem might be?

Many thanks
Alex

Hi @Alex-Williams,

Which Qt version are you running? On which operating system?

The first thing I would check is if there is a qInstallMessageHandler somewhere in the project (it was qInstallMsgHandler in Qt4 times). There you can redirect all the debug output.

That's it. Thank you very much for a quick response.
