Unity Development Build shows on Debug.error in build console !

Rather than bumping, please take the time to improve your question. You get no answers when your question isn't understood.

 

Considering this is a community site, it's quite surprising that nobody in the community has responded and tried to help you. I will take a look at this now and try to find a solution to the problem. Thank you for your patience.

 

I am looking into this problem and I will post a reply if I find a solution. In the meantime, an alternative implementation which may be useful to you is to use the DebugConsole script detailed in the following documentation:

http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=DebugConsole

1) In your project, add the DebugConsole script to your Standard Assets folder. Simply right click on the Standard Assets folder, click Create -> C# Script. Name the script DebugConsole.cs (it must have this name). Copy and paste the code from the DebugConsole wiki page into your new script and save the file.

2) Create a new empty game object in your project. Click GameObject -> Create Empty. Rename the new GameObject to something more meaningful such as "Debug Console".

3) Drag the DebugConsole script onto the new empty game object.

4) To call the DebugConsole script from your scripts, just type:

DebugConsole.someFunction()

5) To display normal logs, warnings or errors, replace someFunction() with:

Log (string message, string color)

This adds a message to the list. The color is a string either "normal", "warning" or "error". The color argument is optional and if omitted, the color will default to "normal". For other functions, please see the documentation in the link provided above.

6) Finally, save your scripts, scene and project.

Please note that you can also change the settings of the Debug Console by clicking on it in the inspector and adjusting the values. Here you can change the log type colors which makes the logs much more readable against certain backgrounds.

 

I have confirmed that the Development Console is not intended to be used for outputting all debug logs, only exceptions and errors. The Console window in the editor is used instead to show all debug logs from your project.

As an alternative, you can implement the solution outlined previously or you could take a look at other implementations available on the Unity Asset Store, for example, the Developer Console detailed in the following forum post:

Yes, you can only have a single editor running at a time. Typically people build a standalone version of the game, and then run that. This standalone can then talk to the editor, and you can debug and test the editor version of the game.

There a lots of open source solutions, including the one @john.fallon mentioned. The debug log is customisable, see:

http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application.RegisterLogCallback.html

So, you can intercept the messages that Debug.Log, Debug.LogWarning etc generate, and either display them as an overlay using the GUI features, or write them to a text file with a unique name. When I am doing any kind of development on a Mac, all I ever do is use tail -f to watch the Player.Log file.
