[Feature Request] Exclude certain methods

[cmann1]

I have some logging helper method which aren't really useful to see in the log, so an option to specify files/classes/methods to completely would be useful.

This should include the filename display, double clicking the log to navigate to the code, and optionally not shown in the stack trace.

Are you refering to the stacktrace here of actually a log message that you want to hide (from files/classes/methods)?

A screenshot would be helpful to be sure

For example I have a few convenience methods inside Console, which will never be relevant to the log.
So any Console methods should be ignored in the same way that Debug.Log is - double clicking the message should go to the line inside Hud.Awake where the log method was called instead of the line inside Console.Log where Debug.Log was called, and the void Console.Log.... line in the stack trace should not be clickable, or just hidden entirely.

Ah ok understood! I think there's already some basic system with a hardcoded name in place - I'll check and maybe it can just be exposed somewhere in the settings

Edit: Ah yeah similar but not quite the same: https://github.com/needle-tools/needle-console/blob/main/package/Readme.md#editor-only-logs-

I've added an option to the settings where you can enter e.g. Console.Log( to ignore your specific log message. Maybe it's better to set a filepath instead tho.

For testing this option is available in an 2.6.0-alpha version

Awesome, thanks for the quick response!

That seems to be working perfectly so far.
