How to log during Ayon plugin development?

This question can have multiple meaning depending on what, where and maybe when you want to log.

e.g.

  1. Sometimes, it can refer to the application launch log, as mentioned in this community post.
  2. Other times, it might mean you want to display the published plugins report, which is logged in the details tab.
  3. It can also refer to the services log, as explained in this guide.
  4. Additionally, it might mean the server log, including both the addon server side and frontend part, as mentioned in this guide.

From your example, I assume MultipleTexturesCreator is a creator plugin.

For reference, all creator plugins have log class attribute, so you can use self.log inside the class functions.

Additionally, here’s an example.
I ran it in Houdini’s script editor:

from ayon_core.lib import Logger

logger = Logger.get_logger()
logger.setLevel(10)

logger.debug(logger)

logger = Logger.get_logger("CreateAlembicCamera")
logger.info(logger)

Output:

  - { __main__ }: [  <Logger __main__ (DEBUG)>  ] 
>>> [  <Logger CreateAlembicCamera (INFO)>  ]
