Скачать или смотреть How To Record and View Console Logs for Web Browsers / WebView2 - Lesson 62

In this video, I’ll guide you through the process of debugging a complex shape manipulation issue in a WPF application integrated with WebView2. If you’re working on a project that involves rotating shapes within PowerPoint or any other graphical software, understanding how to effectively use logs and console output is crucial for troubleshooting.

I demonstrate the power of Serilog for logging events in your solution. By setting up Serilog, you can track what's happening in your application in real-time, even if you're not directly interacting with the front-end interface. I’ll show you how this logging system helps capture essential details about your project’s startup, shape modifications, and rotation functionality.

But logs aren't always enough! I also explain how to access and use console logs generated in a WebView2 environment. These logs can provide deeper insights into what’s happening behind the scenes, especially when it’s difficult to identify issues from the output window alone.

In this specific scenario, I’m troubleshooting a problem where a shape inside a group is not rotating as expected. I walk you through the steps of inspecting the console output to understand what data is being sent to the core logic and why the shape isn't moving. You’ll learn how a missing group ID and group name in the data can prevent the logic from identifying and manipulating the correct shape.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a better understanding of how to:

Use Serilog to capture log data and track the flow of your application.
View and analyze console logs in WebView2 to debug JavaScript and data handling issues.
Identify and resolve issues in shape manipulation logic, particularly in scenarios involving nested shapes and group rotations.
This tutorial is perfect for developers working with PowerPoint add-ins, WPF applications, or WebView2 components, and anyone looking to improve their debugging skills in complex graphical applications.
