Ability to redirect tracepoint output to Unity console

[oxysoft]

Tracepoints are hugely useful, however the output is not in a very useful place for a developer working with Unity3D. In fact I remember a while back it took me quite some time to find where they went initially. It would be a huge win if we could set tracepoints and see their output directly in the Unity console. They could be prefixed with "[TRACEPOINT]" or something for clarity sake.

(to be clear, when I say tracepoint I mean a breakpoint with Evaluate and log set and suspend off)

Thank you for the idea. Couple of screenshots would help a lot. By "Unity console" do you mean in Rider or in Unity?

[oxysoft]

I mean the console inside of Unity but I think both would be nice. Essentially, hitting a tracepoint would result in Debug.Log firing with the evaluated content of the tracepoint to print.

Second this, it would be super helpful!

Must have )

This is a must have!

ps. I was searching to find where the tracepoint log is. The answer is here in the Debug Output tab. Not Console tab. Not Event Log tab. And that was often flooded with thread messages.

Workaround for this is to create a function somewhere in your project and call it in the Evaluate and log

using JetBrains.Annotations;
using UnityEngine;

namespace Util
{
    public static class RiderUtil
    {
            [UsedImplicitly]
            public static T Log<T>(T s)
            {
                Debug.Log(s);
                return s;
            }
    }
}

I have also requested some debugger api, so we could make it more strait-forward. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-59076
