Plugin dependencies not logging
Answered
Dear IJ Team,
I have simple plugin taking few in puts and talks to our dependency libs . While development (runIDE) I could see parent IJ instance logging from all dependency libraries. But when installed as plugin no logs found ( idea.log just logging plugin classes newly created with wrapper). This is difficult situation to use plugin with out able to see/generate logs.
I tried to add sl4j over log4j (as dependency application libs uses log4j) but doesn't seems to be a solution.
could you throw some light please how this can be solved any configuration settings IJ offers?

What logging framework are these libraries using? Did you set logger/level accordingly for them in the IDE installation? https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/ide-infrastructure.html
Log4j, libs are using.. yes log level on Info.
As I mentioned while runIDe able to show log why plugin when installed No logs showing on editor ?
Please try setting corresponding categories additionally in the IDE via Help | Diagnostic Tools | Debug Log Settings. https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/ide-infrastructure.html
definitely plugin not adding any in-line log like local applicaion. There must be way to configure that. any advise
Sorry but I don't understand your last comment.
Apologies for not being clear.
if you run/execute any class you can see logs appearing under run. but when I run plugin ( which interacts with application) I don't see any log being attached or appearing under run as foreground process like executing any task or class main
