Where does Atom (or it's installed packages) store debug log files?

Question

I just opened this bug report on github. Obviously it would be nice to add some detail from the log file.

Where does Atom store them? Is this error referring to perhaps a log file generated by the package itself? If so, is there a conventional directory location for package log files, or would a package write to a main/shared Atom log file?

Reason for downvote? I'd love to improve the question if possible. – Cover

The error gets logged to the Atom console (View > Developer > Toggle Developer Tools). If you want to preserve it in future session, you need activate the Preserve log checkbox at the top of the panel:

Ah, good to know. The message did say log file, so I'm wondering if there's a file on the filesystem somewhere that is created or appended to in addition to something like this. – Cover
