# How to enable debugging
|
|
|
|
It is possible to get the apps to display or log more information that might help debug various issues.
|
|
|
|
## Desktop application
|
|
|
|
If the application starts with a white screen, open **Help > Toggle Development Tools** in the menu. Then check in the console if there is any error or warning and please let us know about it.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, follow these instructions:
|
|
|
|
- Click on menu **Help > Open Profile Directory** and add a file named "flags.txt" in your directory with the following content: `--open-dev-tools --debug --log-level debug`
|
|
- Restart the application
|
|
- The development tools should now be opened. Click the "Console" tab
|
|
- Now repeat the action that was causing problem. The console might output warnings or errors - please add them to the GitHub issue. Also open log.txt in the config folder and if there is any error or warning, please also add them to the issue.
|
|
|
|
## CLI application
|
|
|
|
- Start the app with `joplin --debug --log-level debug`
|
|
- Check log.txt as specified above for the desktop application and attach the log to the GitHub issue (or just the warnings/errors if any). The profile directory would be in `~/.config/joplin`.
|
|
|
|
## Mobile application
|
|
|
|
- In the [Configuration screen](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/config_screen.md), press on the **Log button** and post a screenshot of any error/warning.

# Creating a low-level bug report on iOS

Some crashes cannot be investigated using Joplin's own tools. In that case, it can be very helpful to provide a native iOS crash report.

|
|
For this, please follow these instructions:
