## Debugging Puppeteer ## Debugging Puppeteer
Puppeteer uses [DEBUG](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug) module to expose some of it's inner guts under the `puppeteer` namespace. Try putting the following in a file called `script.js` and running it via `DEBUG=* node script.js`: See [Debugging Tips](README.md#debugging-tips) in the readme
```js
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
browser.close();
})();
```
Tips-n-tricks:
- `DEBUG=*:session node script.js` - dump protocol session messages (protocol messages to targets)
- `DEBUG=*,-*:protocol node script.js` - dump everything BUT protocol messages
- `DEBUG=*:page node script.js` - dump only Page's API calls
- `DEBUG=*:mouse,*:keyboard node script.js` - dump only Mouse and Keyboard API calls

2. Capture console output from the page by listening for the `console` event. 1. Capture console output - You can listen for the `console` event.
This is also handy when debugging code in `page.evaluate()`: This is also handy when debugging code in `page.evaluate()`:
```js ```js
page.on('console', (...args) => { page.on('console', (...args) => console.log('PAGE LOG:', ...args));
console.log('PAGE LOG:', ...args);
});
await page.evaluate(() => { await page.evaluate(() => console.log(`url is ${location.href}`));
console.log(`url is ${location.href}`);
});
``` ```
1. Enable verbose logging - All public API calls and internal protocol traffic
will be logged via the [`debug`](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug) module.
```sh
# Basic verbose logging
env DEBUG="*" node script.js
# Debug output can be enabled/disabled by namespace
env DEBUG="*,-*:protocol" node script.js # everything BUT protocol messages
env DEBUG="*:session" node script.js # protocol session messages (protocol messages to targets)
env DEBUG="*:mouse,*:keyboard" node script.js # only Mouse and Keyboard API calls
# Protocol traffic can be rather noisy. This example filters out all Network domain messages
env DEBUG="*" env DEBUG_COLORS=true node script.js 2>&1 | grep -v '"Network'
```
