Code OSS Logs
Find and display logs from the most recent Code OSS or Agents app dev run.
Log Root Directories
| App | Default User Data Dir | Logs Path |
|---|---|---|
| Code OSS | $HOME/.vscode-oss-dev |
$HOME/.vscode-oss-dev/logs/ |
| Agents app | $HOME/.vscode-oss-agents-dev |
$HOME/.vscode-oss-agents-dev/logs/ |
If Code OSS was launched with --user-data-dir=<dir>, use <dir>/logs/ instead of the defaults above. Launch and debugging helpers often create temporary user data dirs under .build/; always prefer the exact user data dir from the launch command when it is known.
Each run creates a timestamped folder like 20260330T163430. The most recent folder sorted by modification time is usually the one the user cares about.
Procedure
- Identify which app the user is asking about: Code OSS or Agents app. If unclear, check both.
- Find the most recent log folder:
