How can I profile setTimeout functions existance in JS

Question

Hi

I am having a problem understanding which function runs (probably in infinite loop) in my JS code.

Is there a plug\way to see the list of the setTimeout functions that are running?

thank you

Answer 1

You can probably use the Firebug Firefox extension to put a breakpoint in. http://getfirebug.com/

All you have to do is hook into your setTimeout function and log stuff:

var _temp = setTimeout;
setTimeout = function() {
      _temp.apply(this, arguments);
      alert(arguments[0]);
};

Put that snippet at the top of your code. Every time anything invokes setTimeout, you'll see exactly who's doing it.

Also, instead of alert, use console.log or something similar.
