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

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.

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.

In the Configuration screen, press on the Log button and post a screenshot of any error/warning.

To get a bug report directly from your device, do the following:

After a moment you get a notification that the bug report is ready. To share the bug report, tap the notification.

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:
