Logs
The Logs screen shows you what’s happening inside ADL. It displays application log messages that can help you understand the app’s behavior and troubleshoot any issues.

- Code generation — Template processing and output file creation.
- Errors and warnings — Issues that occurred during operations.
- General activity — Other app events and status updates.
Troubleshoot issues
Section titled “Troubleshoot issues”If something doesn’t seem right — a file that didn’t load, a template that didn’t generate, or an unexpected error — the logs are the first place to look. They’ll often tell you exactly what went wrong and where.
When to check the logs
Section titled “When to check the logs”- After code generation — See if any templates failed to process or produced errors.
- When files don’t load — Check for file access or format issues.
- When something seems off — The logs can confirm whether an operation completed successfully or silently failed.
- Check logs after bulk operations — If you generated output for a large project, scan the logs to make sure everything processed cleanly.
- Look for error messages first — Errors and warnings are the most actionable items in the logs.
