Question

I have a JavaScript file (Angular, but I don;t think that’s anything to do with it).

console.log works fine, but console.error throws * TypeError: Cannot find function error in object [object Object].

console.log('An error occurred while searching. Status code was ' + status);
console.error('An error occurred while searching. Status code was ' + status);

I’m running test using Jasmine, maybe Jasmine mocks\injects it’s own console??

UPDATE
This is being run via a mvn build with Jasmine, so no browser.

Problem was that the no-op implementation of console we default to didn’t have a stubbed error method.

e.g:

/**
 * Defines a console object if missing
 */
if (typeof console !== "object") {
    console = {};
    console.log = function() {};
    console.error=function() {};  // Added this to fix
}
