See e.g. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-perf/2014Jun/0036.html for an implementer requesting this. 108236 2 annevk 2014-06-23 18:58:31 +0000 See also http://esdiscuss.org/topic/a-way-of-explicitly-reporting-exceptions where bz suggests adding this to ECMAScript. 108246 3 ian 2014-06-23 20:37:13 +0000 Interesting idea. Is there multiple vendor interest? 108257 4 annevk 2014-06-24 07:35:23 +0000 It seems so. On es-discuss arv suggested putting it on the console API. 110784 5 ian 2014-08-29 20:40:30 +0000 Ok well I'm happy to spec something, but if it's in the console API then I need something to hook into, unless I'm just going to spec the whole console API. Does it have a spec or anything? 110802 6 annevk 2014-08-31 12:32:31 +0000 I don't think window.console has a workable specification at the moment. There's http://sideshowbarker.github.io/console-spec/ though. 110867 7 ian 2014-09-02 17:08:51 +0000 So what should I do? Spec console.*? Pretend a spec exists and use partial? Reassign the bug to Mike? 110874 8 bkardell 2014-09-02 19:38:23 +0000 We've done some upfront on this with collaborators from n vendors/firebug. https://github.com/DeveloperToolsWG/console-object It's also been discussed that this might belong in ecma standard library as console is not limited to the browser. 111756 9 ian 2014-09-18 17:33:22 +0000 brian, that page says that adding new features is a non-goal. Do you have any proposals for where we should put new features? 111760 10 bkardell 2014-09-18 18:43:40 +0000 (In reply to Ian 'Hixie' Hickson from comment #9) > brian, that page says that adding new features is a non-goal. Do you have > any proposals for where we should put new features? Not really, the purpose of that statement is simply to say that we wanted to focus first on codifying the intersection of what is de-facto truth, or at least has enough agreement to qualify as that, not be distracted initially by feature requests and bikeshedding. The aim was to do it in such a way that it would be approvable regardless of which body it landed in (living specs are still pretty unique to WHATWG and standards bodies are typically considerably better at 'last mile agreement' efforts than invention). I'm happy to help with this, my availability for things is significantly changed recently. 111866 11 ian 2014-09-19 23:45:22 +0000 Since this is going to end up in the console API spec rather than HTML, I'm moving this to the Unwelcome bucket. I encourage whoever wants to spec the console API to take up this bug. Thanks! 111868 12 terinjokes 2014-09-19 23:57:08 +0000 I'm starting to put together a "Console Spec" at https://github.com/terinjokes/console-spec It's still in the very early stages, but I welcome feedback and discussion in the GitHub issues. 111875 13 bzbarsky 2014-09-20 01:16:21 +0000 It's worth taking a look at the IDL browsers already have for console, fwiw. I would also suggest a discussion forum more amenable to participation by multiple people and with better archiving, linkability, and especially searchability than github issues... A mailing list, say. 125712 14 annevk 2016-04-04 13:39:59 +0000 https://github.com/whatwg/console/issues/50
