Web Console/ConsoleObjectCompletion

Console Object Completion is a feature integrated into the Web Console (named generically 'sub-feature') therefore the testing approach will be similar and in interaction with the main feature.

General info/Overview

This feature tracks work that was originally blended into the WebConsole7 feature, but not completed for Firefox 7.

When the Web Console shipped with Firefox 4, it provided the first console object to be always available to content in Firefox. It provided enough of the console object to be useful (console.log being by far the most popular method on the object). However, it was still lacking in features that developers commonly use. |Feature users and use cases=You can open up the Web Console and type console.dir(window) and see a set of properties and values from the window object in the console object.

In a JavaScript program, you can use console.group and console.groupEnd to visually group together related log messages. |Feature requirements=* The console object implements the portion of the API that is implemented by both Firebug and WebKit. Notably, this includes time, timeEnd, dir, group and groupEnd.

Testing

Prerequisites

Environment needed
  • Firefox clean build with new profile How To?
  • Firefox 'dirty' profile
Settings
  • No extra settings needed
Preparations for test
  • No extra preparations needed
Areas planned to be covered by testing
  • Functional
Areas that will not be covered by testing (not in scope)
  • Automation

Use cases

group/groupEnd
console.group(object[, object, ...])

Writes a message to the console and opens a nested block to indent all future messages sent to the console. Call console.groupEnd() to close the block. 

console.groupCollapsed(object[, object, ...])

Like console.group(), but the block is initially collapsed. 

console.groupEnd()

Closes the most recently opened block created by a call to console.group() or console.groupCollapsed()

time/timeEnd
console.time(name)

Creates a new timer under the given name. Call console.timeEnd(name) with the same name to stop the timer and print the time elapsed.. 

console.timeEnd(name)

Stops a timer created by a call to console.time(name) and writes the time elapsed.
