Device logs

Device logs are system logs specific to your application generated by Android logcat. They can help you access your application logs and are especially helpful if the application under test crashes during test execution.

Device logs are disabled by default. To enable them, use the deviceLogs parameter when running a build using the builds REST API.

Example cURL request to enable device logs:

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" \
-X POST "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/flutter-integration-tests/v2/builds" \
-d '{"deviceLogs": true, "devices": ["Samsung Galaxy S8-7.0"], "app": "bs://f7c874f21852ba57957a3fdc33f47514288c4ba4", "testSuite": "bs://e994db8333e32a5863938666c3c3491e778352ff"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Viewing device logs

You can access device logs for each executed test case on the App Automate dashboard or get them using the sessions REST API.

curl -u "YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" -X GET "https://api-cloud.browserstack.com/app-automate/builds/<build-id>/sessions/<session-id>/deviceLogs"
