DebugBar forums / using 'apply' method on console.log()

Emil G. · 2009-10-03 22:47:59

Hi

I'm trying to use the 'apply' method on 'console.log()'. It works perfectly on FF/Firebug but not on Companion.JS with IE (tested in IE6 and IE8).

Example :
console.log.apply(this,['log : first part ','and second part of the log']);

Error returned by IE :
Cet objet ne gère pas cette propriété ou cette méthode

Is it normal ?

It seems that IE refuses the usage of 'apply' and 'call' method on some native functions (for example alert()), but works well on user defined functions. I haven't found the explanation on the net. Maybe somebody knows why.
Anyway, console.log() has the same error as these native functions.

Thanks for any help or explanation.

Hi,

This is not supported so far.

Hi,

I'm working on the "apply" method for all of the "console" object methods.

It should come soon...

Hi,

Companion.JS has been improved and v0.5.3 have now "apply" methods for all "console" functions.

I come back to you to report another problem linked to the same subject :

if I do : var LOG=console.log
then 'LOG.apply' works but 'LOG()' doesn't work (tested in IE7)

Can you confirm ? Will you add any modification to correct it ?

moreover, I also noticed that console.log.call() doesn't work. Maybe both problems are linked.

Thanks for your answer

You're right. Working on it...

Hi,

I just released Companion.JS v0.5.5 which adds "call" method and "direct call" feature to console.* methods.
