console: trace() static method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The console.trace() static method outputs a stack trace to the console.

Note: In some browsers, console.trace() may also output the sequence of calls and asynchronous events leading to the current console.trace() which are not on the call stack — to help identify the origin of the current event evaluation loop.

See Stack traces in the console documentation for details and examples.

Syntax

js
console.trace()
console.trace(object1, /* …, */ objectN)

Parameters

objects Optional

Zero or more objects to be output to console along with the trace. These are assembled and formatted the same way they would be if passed to the console.log() method.

Return value

None (undefined).

Examples

js
function foo() {
  function bar() {
    console.trace();
  }
  bar();
}

foo();

In the console, the following trace will be displayed:

bar
foo
<anonymous>
