Copy from console without source?

[Robert Mark Bram]

Hi All,

When I copy from the console, I get the source for every line i.e. what line generated that console output. Is there a way to copy from the console without the source?

You can use the copy() method to copy into clipboard some evaluation.

Oftentimes this works nicely:  copy( $_ )

Hmm.. copy( $_ ) and copy() just put "undefined" in the clipboard. Not sure I understand how to use this.

[Paul Irish]

Sorry, it takes the primary argument and copies it to the clipboard.

copy( location )

copy( { prop : "value"} );

$_ is a reference to the last evaluation in the console:

I see..  that's useful if you want a text representation of something (DOM element or named variable), but not really helpful for capturing output to the console, which is what I am after.

Unless you replaced all console.log statements with something like blah+=".." and then at the end ran copy(blah), which is all a bit painful. Worse is that these commands cannot be run in a snippet - only the console.

Well, a not so easy way is to open the Developer Tools for the Developer Tools and add display: none to the class that all of the source links have and then copy using the regular means.

I actually tried to inspect element on the console until a little voice at the back of my head started singing "got ya!".. :)

 

[PhistucK]

It is possible, just not that easily.

Undock the Developer Tools and press Control + Shift + J.

'Developer Tools on the Developer Tools' is cool, dude. ;)

Hi Robert, did you find any easy way to achieve what your were after since then ? I'm interested in it too :>

[Robert Mark Bram]

No.

@PhistucK's idea was to open Console on the Console and modify the CSS to hide the source+line number message. You can do this:

- Click on console.

- Control+shift+j to open a console on the console.

- Control+shift+f to open cross file search. 

- Search for class name: .console-message-url

- You can click on the result that should open consoleView.css.

- Change the CSS to give it display:none.

- BAM - the messages are gone!

- Except when you copy and paste, hidden content still exists and is still copied.. 

Next thing I thought about was using Javascript/jQuery to delete those nodes.

Next thing I thought about was using Javascript/jQuery to delete those nodes.

And that doesn't work either. $(".console-message-url") brings back null.

So I just copied the lot, pasted into my fave text editor and used a regex to remove the source lines.

Now it's year 2019 appoaching 2020 but I still face the same problem. I have tried all ways above but still can't resolve the problem.(except using text editor and a regex)

Require is simple but necessary: how to copy console outputs without source info (the info on the right side)

Anyone has good idea?

I guess it is not necessary enough to justify an option. I do not think I heard this request other than on this thread (only three people are loudly looking for it, apparently).

Hi - you can make that 4 people now :) I would love to have this feature.

[Andy]

Make me number 5! it would be awesome to be able to toggle the source.

Also being able to open 'Developer Tools on the Developer Tools' still blows my mind. With this being possible, you could remove the source information from the dev tools by using the other dev tools console.

[].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll(".console-message-anchor"), function(e) { e.parentNode.removeChild(e); });
