Stack Trace Linkifier: Turn JavaScript Stack Traces into Source Links
Stack Trace Linkifier is a Chrome extension developed by tyglewis. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The program is available for free and aims to enhance the debugging experience for developers working with JavaScript.
When using the DevTools in Chrome, Stack Trace Linkifier automatically converts stack frames in JavaScript stack traces into clickable links that lead directly to the corresponding source code. This functionality mirrors the behavior of stack traces in the DevTools console, where referenced source files are transformed into links that can be clicked to navigate to the source.
The extension was primarily designed as a companion for the Jasmine unit testing framework. When Jasmine reports failing tests with a stack trace, Stack Trace Linkifier allows developers to quickly jump to the test code in the DevTools, facilitating the debugging process and saving valuable time.
For developers working with JavaScript, Stack Trace Linkifier offers a convenient way to navigate through stack traces and seamlessly jump to the relevant source code in the DevTools. Its integration with Jasmine makes it an invaluable tool for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of unit testing.
