How can I see JavaScript errors?

Post by rovf7 »

Using Camino 2.1 on Mac OSX 10.4:

How can I see JavaScript errors, and output which JavaScript programs are writing to console.log(...) ?

I understood that I need to use about:config and set

chimera.log_js_to_console

to true, but where do I now find the logfile?

In other browsers, we often have a menu entry saying "open JavaScript console", but I didn't find anything similar in Camino. I also checked the preferences, whether I maybe can specify a path for the console log file, but again to no avail.

Camino was shut down in May. Are trying to support users who are still using it?

No, I'm using it, because for OSX 10.4, it still seems to be the most "advanced" browser (in terms of HTML and JavaScript implementation).

Does this help? http://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/camino/ ... 02329.html

Note that this is extremely old and I have no clue if it is still valid. At worst, it might annoy a lurker enough to jump in :)
