Originally created by @veracioux on GitHub (Nov 10, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/anomalyco/opentui/issues/293

I did something like:

await new Promise<void>((resolve) => render(() => {
  const r = useRenderer()
  setTimeout(() => { r.destroy(); resolve() }, 500)
  return <box><text>test</text></box>
})

console.log("test") // Doesn't print

I looked at this method but I don't understand it: github.com/veracioux/opentui@931535a0b8/packages/core/src/console.ts (L151)

Don't these two snippets cancel each other out?

    if (this._originalConsole) {
      global.console = this._originalConsole
    }

    this.setupConsoleCapture()

@kommander commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2025):

That is confusing me as well. However the global.console replacement is capturing everything into a buffer, while the "override" just wraps the log/info/warn/error methods and caches it for display. One is probably redundant. The console needs some work.
