console.dir() in spec testing

[peterbe]

I tried this:

it(..., function () {
  console.log({some: 'thing'})
})

and I'm running testem (which is awesome) but it prints nothing :( Isn't this node?

I couldn't wait so I add this to spec/helper.js:

console.dbg = function() {
  for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
    var argument = arguments[i];
    if (typeof argument === 'object') {
      console.log(JSON.stringify(argument, undefined, 2));
    } else {
      console.log(argument);
    }
  }
};

Now it prints nicely.

But hang on, is it node or not?

I also found that if I open the browser window (that I normally hide and don't look at) it supports the console.dir.

But I don't want to use that window. I prefer the black testem window.

You should consider opening an issue on testem
