Python code node v2 print output

Describe the problem/error/question

pre-v2, python node print statements were sent to the browser dev window console.

We have cloud / pro level. How can I see the output of print statements now?

What is the error message (if any)?

Hi @mike_b_1, welcome!

It’s the same i think:


I’ve been doing something as simple as print(“made it here”) and it doesn’t get written to dev console with the jump to v2. With cloud and v2 it seems we may somehow need access to system logs that don’t seem to exist for viewing. And to get log-streaming we’d need enterprise level. So I don’t know where to look for simple debug-assisting output print statements just to see how far the python may have gotten before blowing up or to see the content/value of a variable.

I just tried it with n8n Cloud and it works, and it prints to the console,
Just create a new workflow/code and test it yourself.

Wow. That was absolutely NOT working during the day (PST) today. Everything I ‘print’d did not show up. And the AI documentation helper backed it up by saying task runner implementation pushed the output to some mysterious system logs that we likely could not access for ‘security’ reasons.

When you were able to get it to work I thought it was the brave browser preventing it so I tried safari and it worked. But then it worked a few moments later in brave also.

I don’t know if I spent the day doing something weirdly wrong or if something changed around this time or if just talking about it made the problem go away like at the car service desk.

But thank you!
