I hope it's okay to ask a lame question about simply enabling debug output to the launching shell from a plasmoid via kpackagelauncherqml. My desktop is Ubuntu bionic with kubuntu-ci/stable packages and I am following the first example here...
https://community.kde.org/Plasma/DeveloperGuide#An_App_in_5_Easy_Steps In my copy of plasma-framework/examples/developerguide/basic which has been installed and then launched with kpackagelauncherqml... // This message will end up being printed to the terminal //print("Color is now " + colorRect.color); console.log("Color is now " + colorRect.color); the above 2 lines do not output anything to the current shell and no other example I've tried as a simple QML script (either via qtcreator or just qmlscene) will output any debug info to any associated shell. I've tried the below and fiddling with various qtcreator settings... QT_QML_DEBUG=1 kpackagelauncherqml -a org.example.myplasmoid QT_LOGGING_TO_CONSOLE=1 kpackagelauncherqml -a org.example.myplasmoid I have both Qt 5.9.2 installed by the OS and Qt 5.10 in my ~/Qt folder. Any suggestion on how to get console output from a plasmoid?
