How to capture JavaScript console logs for Jira apps
This article explains how to get JavaScript console logs. These logs help understand why a Wittified app encounters an issue, say when data is loaded or due to any app settings, in a Jira page.
Instructions
- Open the Chrome browser (recommended), log in to Jira, and access the concerned page.
- Depending on the operating system used, choose the appropriate option as follows:
- In Mac, select View > Developer > JavaScript Console from the Chrome menu bar.
- In Windows, press the F12 key to open the Developer Tools panel.
- In Mac, select View > Developer > JavaScript Console from the Chrome menu bar.
Select Network > Disable Cache to prevent caching of resources for this specific page in the Developer Tools panel as shown:
- Next, select the Console tab and click the gear icon on the right to see the available settings.
- Select the Preserve log and Log XMLHttpRequests options, and click the Clear console button( ) to clear out any existing logs from the console.
- Now, reproduce the issue that you are initially experienced with the console still open.
- Right-click anywhere in the console area, select Save as to save the log file to your computer, and share it with the Support team.
