can I prevent Chrome from truncating strings in the dev console?
I recently discovered that the Chrome dev tools has a copy
function which copies to clipboard - without truncation! Handily it also serializes objects to JSON and DOM elements to HTML, straight to the clipboard.
copy(someLongString); // no truncation!
copy({ foo : true }); // JSON
copy(someDOMElement); // HTML
Since I was trying to copy a long string to clipboard for analysis elsewhere, this served my needs perfectly
console.dir(longstringhere)
works.
copy
didn't work for me either, it was saying it's undefined
.
This behavior still exists in Chrome Version 37.0.2062.103.
You can get around this while debugging by using: document.write('My Really Long Debug Text');
