Debug not working?

Hi, my friend and I are playing on version 1.3.28 with SMAPI 2.7 and are having trouble with the debug command in the console. We missed 4 Queen of sauce episodes and are trying to get the debug to add them for us and when we type 'debug' into the console, it gives us this message:

[Console Commands] Sent debug command to the game, but there was no output.

We aren't sure what that means or what the problem is. Any explanation would be appreciated

 

The debug commands are intended for developers rather than players so they aren't very friendly; most don't give any output and often they have side effects. The list of known commands is on the wiki. To add a cooking recipe the syntax would be: "debug cookingrecipe <recipename>" so, for example:

Code:

debug cookingrecipe "Spicy Eel"

The recipe names are case-sensitive and match the keys found in Data\CookingRecipes.xnb; they sometimes differ from the name of the actual food item (e.g. the recipe for "Vegetable Medley" is called "Vegetable Stew")

 

Thank you very much!!!
