Write Unity's Console log to a file?

Is it possible to write Unity's console log to a file? Having the output of Unity's console in a file would make the Debug.Log output easier to search.

 

It's already written to a file. Help -> Open Editor Console Log. That just opens the relevant ~/Library/Logs/Unity file in the console.

Awesome! Thanks for the path!

 

I noticed that if I pause Unity, the log shown in the Unity Console isn't the logfile in ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Editor.log. Even if I stop Unity, these two log files aren't identical. The logfile in ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Editor.log seems to be from a few runs of Unity past.

Does anyone know how to get the logfile in ~/Library/Logs/Unity/Editor.log to be the same as the one shown in the Unity console?

 

In Unity 5 I cannot find the console logs anywhere. help => has no console related option. Another thread said it was in /applications/... but I have no /applications directory in either the unity install (program files) or in my current project directory (or anywhere on my drives).

I get so many logs from events for "repaint" and "layout", the stuff I want is pretty impossible to find.

Thanks in advance!!

Here's all the log locations: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LogFiles.html

 

Edit.
Found.

Anyone needing to find, it can be opened via the editor Console tab.

 

I'm not seeing this at all. I mean, I see log files. But they do NOT contain my Debug.Log() output of any sort.

 

What are you looking for? Access to the CPU's console, for Unity?

If so, its in the drop down of the console Tab, in Unity. !

 

I think the purpose is to save all the lines in the unity console to a file(.txt or alike). But he found that although there were several log files, but they were not the same as he saw in his unity console right at that time.
Hope it will help.
Honestly,I am also having this problem.
Thanks for any reply.

 

If you can't find the Console Log, for your desktop, for Unity, go to the Unity Edit, console log, tab, drop down menu. There is an option for the Desktop Console.
Copy and paste anything you want from that console, in case of crash, as it will remain open, despite a Unity fail.

 

Yes I also would like the ability to save the console output to a file
edit: btw the above suggestion about Desktop Console isnt there in unity 2017.3
