google chrome extension :: console.log() from background page?

Question

If I call console.log(\'something\'); from the popup page, or any script included off that it works fine.

However as the background page is not directly

Answer 1

The simplest solution would be to add the following code on the top of the file. And than you can use all full Chrome console api as you would normally.

 console = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().console;
// for instance, console.assert(1!=1) will return assertion error
// console.log("msg") ==> prints msg
// etc
