This is kind of a newbie question: I am writing a custom dissector with Lua. For debugging, I need to print to the console using Lua's print() function. Under Linux, I can see this output on the console if I start Wireshark from the console. How can I see that output when developing on Windows 10 and launching Wireshark from a cmd shell? asked 18 Nov '16, 07:50  patrick_oppe... |
One Answer:
Not sure if this works for Lua, but in general, Preferences -> Advanced -> gui.console_open. Modify the setting to be other than NEVER. answered 18 Nov '16, 08:02  grahamb ♦ |
Cool, thank you for this hint, however, the GUI console does not display any of my log output. I ended up using the Lua console (Tools -> Lua -> Console) that I can write to using the info() and warn() functions.
