Aim: To log data from a smart contract.

Following function is written in accordance with low level interface to Logs in ethereum. However, due to lack of documentation, and being new in Solidity, I am not able to figure out how and where to get the logs.

function:

 function addNewUser(address _userAddr, uint _amount) public {
        log1(
            bytes32(_userAddr),
            bytes32(msg.sender)
        );
        require(msg.sender == _userAddr); //only owner of lottery can create new Users
        uint256 id = users.push(User(_amount, _userAddr)) - 1;
        addressToUser[_userAddr] = id;
        NewUser(_amount, _userAddr); //event to FE (no return possible in BC edit functions)
    }

When i call function on truffle's console following data is displayed:

Command: lot.addNewUserToLottery(24, 0x6330a553fc93768f612722bb8c2ec78ac90b3bbc);

Where are the logs printed? Am I missing something?

  • Few IDEs support logx currently and Events will be easier to use. Related: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/7139/whats-the-solidity-statement-to-print-data-to-the-console – eth Apr 15 '18 at 06:45
  • I did go through the attached post. It suggested using Events or use logx (giving a link to solidity documentation) . I couldn't get enough information on how to go about logx method, and my own trials were in vain. Hence, I have posted the question. I am using Truffle dev env. testrpc node and intellij IDE. – Karan Apr 15 '18 at 11:33
