This was fixed in ag/21945742

Unfortunately, the bug made it into Canary 9 but the fix did not.

Yeah, turns out it wasn't fix after all.

Having the same issue in Giraffe | 2022.3.1 Canary 10. The process ID is shown in Logcat instead of the app's package name, see attachment.

Will be fixed in canary 11

Sorry about that.

Can we have the option to switch back to old logcat? At least until the new logcat becomes stable? Whenever I try the new logcat, it breaks one way or another. Now just because of this logcat issue, I can't use Giraffee at all.

Confirmed that issue is fixed in Canary 11

varun7952, can you clarify your comment about Canary 11?

Are you saying the issue is not fixed for you on Canary 11?

It is fixed. Can confirm

Re #17

What exactly doesn't work for you?

We don't show the process name, but you can filter by process name with process:name

deshmukhyaaryan,

Please explain what is missing in the new Logcat that was available with the old one.

I know I can filter by process name with process:name. But, I need the process name to be displayed in the logcat window to observe multi-process behavior. Old version logcat is nice and new version loses process name, only package name.

I upgraded to Canary, but ended up going back to Flamingo because of logcat. I won't update anything until I can see the process name in logcat

I can filter main-process by process name with process:xxx.yyy, but I can't filter sub-process by process name with process:xxx.yyy:zzz.

Try process~:xxx.yyy.zzz.

process~:xxx.yyy.zzz seems working. But process:xxx.yyy:zzz worked in the previous version.

Comment #23

IIRC, the old Logcat also displayed the package name only, not the process name. Note that for most cases, they are the same. That's the reason we didn't add the process name to the display.

I can definitely add it as an option.

I filed b/305221377

Comment #27:

process:xxx.yyy:zzz never worked.

process:"xxx.yyy:zzz" should work.

I added an option process name column. Should be available on the next canary

comment#28: your assessment that old AS Logcat did not display process name is invalid. It did not display a process name for the default app process, but it did display the process name from AndroidManifest.xml for a non-default process, right after the package name (com.example:myotherprocess). For the last 6 years at least.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. I just confirmed that old Logcat does not display the process name:

I created a test app with an activity and a service:

        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:process=":activity"
        </activity>

        <service
            android:name=".MyService"
            android:process=":service" />

And logged from both MainActivity and MyService. Here's what Logcat looks like:

2023-10-23 07:19:29.458 31234-31234/com.dolphin.app I/FooBar: From Activity
2023-10-23 07:19:29.693 31261-31261/com.dolphin.app I/FooBar: From Service

Note that pid is different (31234 vs 31261) but only the package name is displayed. com.dolphin.app.

Note that while the log doesn't show the process name, it does show up in the process filter dropdown.

See screenshot.

Is that what you meant?

Not the process filter dropdown. I must have had a mysteriously advanced setup. I don't have my old dev environment anymore, can't say how it worked.

1.png and 2.png filter process:xxx.yyy. Hedgehog not display subprocess name. Show only xxx.yyy, not xxx.yyy:zzz

3.png and 4.png filter process:xxx.yyy:zzz. Hedgehog is empty.

Focus on the difference between the Flamingo and Hedgehog

5.png is my logcat setting

In screenshots 1 & 2, you are seeing the same log 3 entries.

The only differences are:

1. In image 1, the date is not shown while in image 2 it is.
2. In image 1, we display the process name while in image 2 we display the package name.

The intended behavior is to display the package name if it is known, else display the process name. I believe we had a bug in F where we didn't do that correctly.

As mentioned, I already added a another column to the display that will always show the process name.

As for process:xxx.yyy:zzz, that doesn't work because the extra : doesn't parse. Please try process:"xxx.yyy:zzz"

you can still use a simple regex with the new logcat. Just use something like line~:foo.*bar
