How to get file:linenumber in debug() output?

[MichaelJCole]

Is this already implemented?

Thanks!

Not that I know off. I believe that you can subtag your debugs though..

debug = require(debug)("SUPERTAG") 
debug("subtag")("Debug notes")

But I might be hallucinating.

@MichaelJCole This is not possible now, but you can always console.trace() anywhere in your code.

@karloluis This is not possible either, unfortunately.

A simple solution to this without modifying library code for Chrome, is to blackbox the debug.js script and you will still get the debugging message but you will get the line number of the js it got called from not the same line 444 from debug.js where log() is defined.

Here is a good readme on how to BlackBox scripts in chrome devTools

@jwebcat Thanks! Very useful.

FWIW, (and as mentioned in issue #105 ) the blackboxing won't work for inline scripts such as created with browserify. There's an update in the works for blackboxing in Chromium, so maybe this will get fixed soon. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=563578
