How to find out where the alert is raised from?
I'm just curious to know
Is there ANY ways in ANY browser to find out where the alert I get is raised from?
I tried it in chrome but there is no call stack available when alert shows.
Any idea?
You can overwrite alert
, and create an Error
for the stack trace:
var old = alert;
alert = function() {
console.log(new Error().stack);
old.apply(window, arguments);
};
You can monkeypatch the alert to do so:
//put this at the very top of your page:
window.alert = function() { throw("alert called") }
How about wrapping the alert
?
window.original_alert = alert;
alert = function (text) {
// check the stack trace here
do_some_debugging_or_whatever();
// call the original function
original_alert(text);
}
This should be cross-browser.
