bun --console for Electron + Vite project?

[deadcoder0904]

I'm using https://electron-vite.org/ (simple project - https://github.com/deadcoder0904/electron-transparent-window-claude) & I'd love to use --console for it from the latest update - https://bun.sh/blog/bun-v1.2.12

The problem is the console in DevTools is hard to copy with Electron (I have to press copy 2-3x for some reason & it sometimes doesn't register properly & sometimes doesn't select the text properly) so this would be useful as I do this atleast 100x per day when I get error in renderer.

My bun run dev command translates to electron-vite dev & I tried variations of bun run dev -- --console, etc... but that didn't work.

Is this technically possible? Or does electron-vite need to support this?

The --console flag is for the Bun html & static sites (kinda like vite). So you would need to convert the vite setup to use Bun's instead for this console.

I haven't used electron before (and neither electron-vite), so I'm not sure how simple it'll be to migrate.

Would love to know if its passable to vite or electron-vite & no you can't switch vite + electron-vite to use Bun since then you'd have to transfer the whole ecosystem of electron-vite which I doubt anyone would do since it works fine except I love the console tag & its much more useful for Electron/RN than Web.

I guess it shouldn't be possible since Bun has Bake (which is probably Vite equivalent... idk much so might be wrong) but who knows if @Jarred-Sumner has a solution.

I forgot https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-timber exists which is an alternate solution as it logs both consoles (browser & terminal) in terminal.

It didn't work for me so I went with electron-log :)
