Question

I'd like to create a class that wraps Debug.Log so I can enhance logging. To start, I created something very simple:

public static class Log
{
 public static void Format(string format, params object[] args)
 {
 Debug.Log(string.Format(format, args));
 }
}

The problem is, when the log message appears in the console, double clicking it will bring you to this classes Debug.Log statement rather than the actual code where Log.Format was called.

Anyone found a way around this? That is, a way to wrap Debug.Log such that when clicked in the console you're taken to the source line that called the wrapper, and not to the wrapper itself.

public static void Log(object format, params object[] paramList)
{
    System.Diagnostics.StackFrame f = stackTrace.GetFrame(2);

    string log = string.Format("[{3}.{4}] == ",
        f.GetFileName(),        
        f.GetFileLineNumber(),      // always reports 0
        f.GetFileColumnNumber(),    // always reports 0
        f.GetMethod().ReflectedType.Name,
        f.GetMethod().Name);

    // if the last parameter is a unity object, lets feed it in as the context 
    UnityEngine.Object newContext = null;
    if(paramList.Length > 0 && paramList[paramList.Length - 1] is UnityEngine.Object)
         newContext = paramList[paramList.Length - 1] as UnityEngine.Object;
    //UnityEngine.Object context = f.GetMethod().ReflectedType;
    if (format is string)
    {
        log += format as string;
        Debug.Log(string.Format(log, paramList), newContext);
    }
    else
    {
        log += format.ToString();
        UnityEngine.Debug.Log(log, newContext);
    }
}

This is the closest i've come to doing that exact thing. It when double clicking, it still takes you to the debug proxy but when you select them in the editor, it will flash the object that signaled the log statement.

I think you should be able to use this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.stacktrace.aspx

Close. That does get me the file and line number. Still can't double click it in the console window and be taken directly to the line though.
