console

Logs an "ERROR" message to the program log and triggers Script.errorMessage, if a test condition fails. The message logged is "ERROR - Assertion failed : " followed by the message values separated by spaces.

Note: Script execution continues whether or not the test condition fails.

Parameters

Example

Demonstrate assertion behavior.

Script.errorMessage.connect(function (message, scriptName) {
    console.info("Error message logged:", "\"" + message + "\"", "in", "[" + scriptName + "]");
});

console.assert(5 === 5, "5 equals 5.", "This assertion will succeed.");  // No log output.
console.assert(5 > 6, "5 is not greater than 6.", "This assertion will fail.");  // Log output is generated.
console.info("Script continues running.");

// ERROR - Assertion failed :  5 is not greater than 6. This assertion will fail.
// INFO - Error message logged: "Assertion failed :  5 is not greater than 6. This assertion will fail." in [console.js]
// INFO - Script continues running.

Clears the Developer > Scripting > Script Log debug window.

Logs a message to the program log and triggers Script.printedMessage. The message logged is the message values separated by spaces.

Parameters

Logs an "ERROR" message to the program log and triggers Script.errorMessage. The message logged is "ERROR - " followed by the message values separated by spaces.

Parameters

A synonym of console.error. Logs an "ERROR" message to the program log and triggers Script.errorMessage. The message logged is "ERROR - " followed by the message values separated by spaces.

Parameters

Logs a message to the program log and triggers Script.printedMessage, then starts indenting subsequent console.log messages until a console.groupEnd. Groups may be nested.

Parameters

Example

Nested groups.

console.group("Group 1");
console.log("Sentence 1");
console.log("Sentence 2");
console.group("Group 2");
console.log("Sentence 3");
console.log("Sentence 4");
console.groupEnd();
console.log("Sentence 5");
console.groupEnd();
console.log("Sentence 6");

//Group 1
//   Sentence 1
//   Sentence 2
//   Group 2
//      Sentence 3
//      Sentence 4
//   Sentence 5
//Sentence 6

Has the same behavior as console.group. Logs a message to the program log and triggers Script.printedMessage, then starts indenting subsequent console.log messages until a console.groupEnd. Groups may be nested.

Parameters

Finishes a group of indented console.log messages.

Logs an "INFO" message to the program log and triggers Script.infoMessage. The message logged is "INFO -" followed by the message values separated by spaces.

Parameters

Logs a message to the program log and triggers Script.printedMessage. The message logged is the message values separated by spaces.

If a console.group is in effect, the message is indented by an amount proportional to the group level.

Parameters

Example

Log some values.

Script.printedMessage.connect(function (message, scriptName) {
    console.info("Console.log message:", "\"" + message + "\"", "in", "[" + scriptName + "]");
});

console.log("string", 7, true);

// string 7 true
// INFO - Console.log message: "string 7 true" in [console.js]

Starts a timer, logs a message to the program log, and triggers Script.printedMessage. The message logged has the timer name and "Timer started".

Parameters

Example

Time some processing.

function sleep(milliseconds) {
    var start = new Date().getTime();
    for (var i = 0; i < 1e7; i++) {
        if ((new Date().getTime() - start) > milliseconds) {
            break;
        }
    }
}

console.time("MyTimer");
sleep(1000);  // Do some processing.
console.timeEnd("MyTimer");

// MyTimer: Timer started
// MyTimer: 1001ms

Finishes a timer, logs a message to the program log, and triggers Script.printedMessage. The message logged has the timer name and the number of milliseconds since the timer was started.

Parameters

Logs the JavaScript call stack at the point of call to the program log.

Logs a "WARNING" message to the program log and triggers Script.warningMessage. The message logged is "WARNING - " followed by the message values separated by spaces.

Parameters
