class Logger method .getLog()

Logger is the Apps Script service.

.getLog() is the method name you will see after a dot in your code.

What it does

Returns everything currently in the execution log.

Why it's used

  • Read everything logged so far in this execution.
  • Bundle logs into an error email or support ticket.

Common errors

  • Forgetting parentheses on getLog. Write Logger.getLog(), not Logger.getLog or getLog by itself.
  • Skipping dots between chained calls. Each step needs a dot, like Logger.getLog().
  • Adding spaces where they do not belong. Write Logger.getLog(), not Logger .getLog(), Logger.getLog (), or Logger . getLog().
  • Wrong capitalization. Use Logger and getLog, not logger or getlog.
