There are two ways to see extension logs in VS Code:

Method 1 - Using Output tab of terminal

Step 1: Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + ~ or by going to Terminal -- New Terminal in the menu.

Step 2: In the terminal panel, select the OUTPUT tab.

Step 3: Use the dropdown menu on the right side of the panel to select the extension whose logs you want to view.

Method 2 - Toggle Developer Tools

Step 1: Open the Command Palette: Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS).

Step 2: Run the Developer: Toggle Developer Tools command: Type Developer: Toggle Developer Tools in the Command Palette and select it. This will open the Chrome DevTools.

Step 3: Go to the Console tab: In the DevTools window, click on the Console tab.

Step 4: Look for extension logs: Extension logs will typically be prefixed with the extension's name or identifier. You can also filter the logs by typing the extension's name in the filter bar.
