Restoring console.log()

Question

For some reason, the prototype framework (or another JavaScript code) that is shipped with Magento is replacing standard console functions, so I can\'t debug anything. Writi

Answer 1

For example,

delete console.log

would also restore console.log:

console.log = null;
console.log;         // null

delete console.log;
console.log;         // function log() { [native code] }

Answer 2

Save a reference to the original console in a variable at the very start of the script and then either use this reference, or redefine console to point to the captured value.

Example:

var c = window.console;

window.console = {
    log :function(str) {
        alert(str);
    }
}

// alerts hello
console.log("hello");

// logs to the console
c.log("hello");
