Cannot find my activity log ...

Question

Hi, i have activity logs folders i have

I see them. I am using VS 2019 version which is version 16, so i am using 16.0_acf7e869.

however, when I open this ActivityLog.Setup.xml, I am thinking this is my activity log?

I cannot find any errors for 2022/07? I am having an error in my VS application at this ajax code. I am trying to find out what this error is, but I cannot see it in the log.

I can see the error using Chrome dev tools, but I need to know why its not showing up in the activity log.

thanks for any help or advice

Hi @iqworks Information Quality Works ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

ActivityLog.Setup.xml file is different from ActivityLog.xml file. If you want to collect and check the ActivityLog.xml file, you can try following steps:

1. Launch Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019 from Start Menu.
2. Run devenv.exe /log and close VS after the error appears.
3. The ActivityLog.xml file should be now under %AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_<UniqueID>.
