Silence JavaScript console output
This is super helpful for unit testing with 100% code coverage, while maintaining a clean test output on the console!
First you need some basic setup code:
// Backup console.log so we can restore it later
var ___log = console.log;
/**
* Silences console.log
* Undo this effect by calling unmute().
*/
function mute() {
console.log = function(){};
}
/**
* Un-silences console.log
*/
function unmute() {
console.log = ___log;
}
Then, you can write code using mute()
and unmute()
like so:
mute();
MyClass.functionThatPrintsOutput();
unmute();
