When running anonymous apex in the Developer Console, you have the option to filter down to show only the Debug lines - is this possible when running anonymous apex from VS Code?

I see the full output in the Output panel and can manually scroll through to find the debug lines.

I can use SFDX: Get Apex Debug Logs to retrieve the full debug log too - what's the best method to filter down to only the debug lines?

Should it be this command to launch the debugger? I'm missing this option.

You can use this command to see live logs

sfdx force:apex:log:tail --color | grep USER_DEBUG

the grep USER_DEBUG will display only lines related to System.debug calls

You can also run this command with a single click using VsCode SFDX Hardis extension with command Display live logs in terminal

  • Thanks. I had just installed the Hardis extension and was looking through it too. When I run the anon apex vs code automatically open the Output tab - is there a way to stop it so it remains on the terminal where the debug log shows?

  • Run anonymous code command is managed in Salesforce core Vs Code extensions, so Sfdx Hardis has no way to change that :/

  • if it can help, code is here, you may ask the maintainers for a PR that would allow some connfig param to not switch of output tab when running the command :) github.com/forcedotcom/salesforcedx-vscode/blob/main/packages/…
