Feature Request: Show logs in terminal for linux app

[gabegattis]

I am using the 2.6.0 linux app.

I like to run Copay from a terminal so I can see the logs. As of some recent version, the logs are no longer shown. Can we enable them by default? If not, can we add a flag, such as "-v" or "--verbose", or something like that to allow logging?

In order to debug Copay in Linux, using NW.JS v0.16 you need to download the "SDK flavor" of NW, and then just open DevTools are in Chrome (see http://nwjs.readthedocs.io/en/nw16/For%20Users/Debugging%20with%20DevTools/)

How were we doing logs before? Did we update to a newer version of NW in a recent release?

[matiu]

yes. to nw.js 0.16

@gabegattis You can also run ./Copay --remote-debugging-port=9090 and open with Chromium at localhost:9090

@matiu Downloading the sdk flavor of NW doesn't look to be required, does that offer additional options?

[braydonf]

I also noticed that the download is now 80+mb zipped, which is 3+ times larger than bitcoind and bitcoin-qt. Maybe there is too much being included?

[gabegattis]

@braydonf Node-webkit is pretty big. For comparison, the android sdk is only 7MB.

We could start by cleaning up https://github.com/bitpay/copay/blob/master/package.json. There are a lot of things in dependencies that should go in devDependencies or be made optional.

This is waiting on #4890
