Frustrated by Magento? Then you’ll love
Hard to believe I haven’t mentioned this one before, but if you’re going to be doing javascript development in Magento, you’ll want to look in the following file
js/varien/js.js
and comment out or nullify the following code
if (!("console" in window) || !("firebug" in console))
{
var names = ["log", "debug", "info", "warn", "error", "assert", "dir", "dirxml",
"group", "groupEnd", "time", "timeEnd", "count", "trace", "profile", "profileEnd"];
window.console = {};
for (var i = 0; i < names.length; ++i)
window.console[names[i]] = function() {}
}
This bit of javascript was used to “catch” calls to console.log in browsers without firebug. Meaning, with it in place you don’t be able to use console.log with Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, or any other non-firefox browser.
