How to Get a JavaScript Stack Trace – Chrome Console

Hey everyone,

Just a quick post on something useful I came across today. In JavaScript you can access the stack trace via console using the following command (ctrl + shift + j):

console.trace()

In Chrome, this will let you navigate to each relevant call by clicking the line number in the console window. I’ve found it pretty useful for backtracking through jQuery exceptions.
