Debug.developerConsoleVisible no longer returns true (ever) in the editor.

So in unity 4.6 Debug.developerConsoleVisible used to return true on the frame that the console was accessible to be messed with (specifically to use Debug.ClearDeveloperConsole).

Well, not in Unity5 it seems it no longer does this and I'm having a frustating time trying to do a very simple operation.

Here is a simple snippet checking it:

void Update()
{
if (Debug.developerConsoleVisible)
Debug.Log("VISIBLE");
}
​

This stinks. Does anyone else have a solution to checking if a snippet can properly use Debug.ClearDeveloperConsole?

 

In the past i have used reflection to clear the console, does it still work that way?

Code (CSharp):

1.     void ClearLog () {
2.         Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetAssembly( typeof( SceneView ) );
3.         System.Type type = assembly.GetType( "UnityEditorInternal.LogEntries" );
4.         MethodInfo method = type.GetMethod( "Clear" );
5.         UnityEngine.Object o = new UnityEngine.Object();
6.         method.Invoke( o, null );
7.     }
8.
