Doesn't work in Chrome any more :(

:cry:

:scream: What version/OS you running? The demo is still working for me on Version 44.0.2403.130 (64-bit) OSX Yosemite!

[daniellmb]

Chrome 45.0.2454.26 beta (64-bit) OSX 10.9.5

It looks like the code runs without errors but Chrome isn't rendering the BG image. It'll render a BG color, but not an image (tried both a url and base 64 encoded string).

Doesn't work in Chrome - Version 45.0.2454.85 (64-bit) / OSX 10.10.5

Unfortunately it appears the fun is over :(

I believe the only way to get around would be to draw pixel-by-pixel... bonus of that would be that it would work in Firefox and Opera too ;) I think it would be intense on large images though.

[mudcube]

Just tried to do the pixel-by-pixel method; it's super slow, and could not get pixels to align properly.

Better option might be to write a DevTools extension;

Yeah this line kills it: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink/trunk/Source/devtools/front_end/console/ConsoleViewMessage.js?pathrev=197345#l797

There's no way to specify an image without using url(...) is there? Even a base64 data uri uses that. :(

Think we might be back in business.

@daniellmb don't lose hope just yet. I think we're onto something because these custom formatters are awesome. Everybody will probably in the near future have them turned on and we'll be there to pounce.

WhatWG is working to make some more standardizations surrounding window.console (good place to weigh in on console.image and why it's important): https://github.com/whatwg/console

"As far as there are multiple different ways to detect opened devtools, (and we don't aim to fight with them ATM), closing this as WontFix."

hoorayy!! 🎉🎉🎉

[bharatramnani94]

The demo works with Version 63.0.3239. Maybe it's time to close this issue.

Is there an alternative way to display an image in the console nowadays?

@leobenkel This method still works
