How to copy error messages?

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by voidprince32 4

I am unsure if this is intended however as I have been developing apps on this platform and encounter bugs that I cannot solve I want to copy an error message and see if I can find a solution. However no matter what I do I cannot copy and paste error messages. Am I missing something or is this how the platform was designed?

    I found a very neat workaround for this.

    1) press windows+shift+ s to screenshot the error then paste in OneNote
    2) right click the "pasted screenshot" in OneNote and select "Copy text from picture"
    3) now you have the error message in your clipboard. :)
