Wish Conditonal compilation condition #IF Not(Obfuscated)

[Chris2]

Forgive me if this can already be done somehow but...

When testing server/client apps in B4J I run both apps through the IDE at the same time on the same machine. We are limited to running only one app in DEBUG at a time but I want to see the Log() entries that I have in the IDEs of both apps. I don't really want those Log() entries to be in the code of the final compiled release though.

If there was a compilation condition that could be used like:

#If Not(obfuscated)
Log($"Shown in Debug & Release but not Release(obfustaced)"$)
#End if

then I would see Log() entries when testing within the IDE in both DEBUG & RELEASE mode, but the Log() would not be present in the final release for which I always compile under Release(obfuscated).

I hope that makes sense!

[I guess this an alternative to the wish of being able to run multiple apps in Debug at the same time on the same machine]

EDIT: I just found that @tchart has already wished for this - https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/compiler-directive-release_obfuscated.139352/
My apologies for the duplication. I don't think that it's been impemented yet though.

There is already a built-in OBFUSCATED symbol:

Your code should work.

Hmm, I'm not sure how I missed that.
Although it works as expected for the enclosed code, the greying out of text in the IDE doesn't appear to work as normal:
With #If OBFUSCATED, the code is always greyed out no matter which compile mode is selected. And the converse is true with #If Not(OBFUSCATED)

I wouldn't expect the Log() to be greyed out here when Release(obfuscated) us selected:

And with #If Not(OBFUSCATED), I'd expect the code to be grey only under Release(obfuscated):

You are correct (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4j-v10-0-is-available-for-download.155241/#content), this symbol is only set during compilation.

So I didn't spot that the thing I was wishing for already exists, and then I didn't read the info from when it was added - let's call it an off day
