Re: Method 'print' send "newline" to output. How to print w/o "newline" in browser console?

[James Wendel]

I don't believe there is anyway for console.log in javascript to print to the console without a newline (at least in Chrome).  With that, it makes sense to make "print" always print a newline.  If you don't want to print a newline from a terminal window, stdout is the way to go.

The console interface is meant for logging. There is one line per message. Each log message has a level (log, debug, info, warn, error), some text, and a source (file name and line number).

Command line applications can also write to stdout (an IOSink).

Someone lost sight of the something.

Maybe I am.

Maybe the developers.

Logging is meant for logging. But not console.

You can disagree with that all you want, but it won't change anything. The console API which was introduced by Firebug is meant for logging.

You don't really print to a browser's console, you're logging messages. There is one line per message.

There is no newline character. The next message is in the next line because every message gets its own line.

It became a sort-of standard. Chrome, Opera, and IE also support this API. Firefox itself (it's shipped with some dev tools nowadays) also supports it.

Well, Dart's print function (if used in the browser) uses that API. There also isn't anything else it could use. It's the only way to "print" something in the browser.

Short of "alert".

Which would probably be really, really annoying :)

If the 'print' is a universal way to send a string to be printed (without thinking of the output device), how to print a string without a newline.

If you're running on the standalone VM, you can import dart:io and use stdout.print(...);

Without knowledge about about the "stdout".
Eg. in tests that running in web browser.

In this case, you'll want to build up the string yourself incrementally and then only call print() once you've reached the end of a line. Web browsers always put each console.log() call on its own line.

Especially asynchronously.

For that, you're probably better off doing an actual UI in the DOM. console.log() was never really designed for something like that, for better or worse.
