Print function log /stack trace for entire program using firebug

Firebug has the ability to log calls to a particular function name. I'm looking for a bug that sometimes stops a page from rendering, but doesn't cause any errors or warnings. The bug only appears about half the time. So how do I get a list of all the function calls for the entire program, or some kind of stack trace for the execution of the entire program?

Solution

  • Firefox provides console.trace() which is very handy to print the call stack. It is also available in Chrome and IE 11.

    Alternatively try something like this:

    function print_call_stack() {
  var stack = new Error().stack;
  console.log("PRINTING CALL STACK");
  console.log( stack );
}
