How to install XcodeColors with Xcode 4.6?

Using CoconutKit, I wanted to see all their logs in color. Sadly, I did not get XcodeColors to run.

Supposedly, I was to copy XcodeColors into the Xcode plug-ins path:

/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins

Not only the Plug-ins folder did not exist, but the whole folder chain starting with Developer was not there. I created all of the folders and put the files where they nominally belonged. I created the environment variable for my current scheme in Xcode:

image: "setting XcodeColors = YES environment variable"

and eagerly ran my program.

No colored debug logs. Any ideas why that could be?

Thanks, A.

Edit: The first answer was quite correct. Still it did not work. But for another reason I removed all the DerivedData for my project, restarted Xcode and then 'voilà': I have not been so happy to see an ERROR warning, yet - it was red. image: "debugger text with a red ERROR warning and the crash log"

Solution

  • The installation instructions for XcodeColors state:

    Copy this folder to "~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/XcodeColors.xcplugin"

    (i.e. your home directory, not the global directory /Library/Application Support/Developer/...).
