Overview
The Output tab in the Code Editor module is a crucial feature for developers, providing real-time feedback during the build process. It displays detailed messages that help users track the progress of their code compilation, understand the actions performed by the build system, and monitor the overall status of their project.
Features
The Output tab is located in the bottom section of the right side of the Code Editor interface. It offers several key functionalities:
-
Build Messages:
- Displays comprehensive logs of the build process, including the start and end times, actions taken by the compiler, and the status of each step in the compilation.
- Displays comprehensive logs of the build process, including the start and end times, actions taken by the compiler, and the status of each step in the compilation.
-
Warnings and Informational Messages:
- Lists any warnings generated during the build process. These messages highlight potential issues that do not stop the build but may need attention for optimal performance.
