Show Exact File Name and Line of Code in Error Logs
Dylan
- Description: When a runtime error occurs in the dev tools, display the file name and precise line/column number where the error originated.
- Motivation: Developers currently see only partial logs. Having the exact file and code location speeds up debugging, reduces guesswork, and minimizes the need to switch back and forth with external tools.
Why does it matter?
Right now, when a developer gets a bug report, they see an error message but have to hunt through all the code to find where that error is happening.
With this change, the bug report would point them to the exact spot.
*
Before:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined
*
After:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (at checkout.js:152)
This would help developers fix problems much quicker because they'd know exactly where to look. It takes the guesswork out of finding the problem's location in the code.
