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

To get a console log from a background page you need to write the following code snippet in your background page background.js -

 chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage().console.log('hello');

Then load the extension and inspect its background page to see the console log.
