Chrome Dev Tools - Start debugging by function name

Question

Is there any way to specify the debugger for listening for specific method names? Example: When the function myFunc get called, I want to start debugging. Yes, I know that this seems strange, but in some projects I don't know the name of the javascript file to start the debugging, but I do know the name of the method.

It would be something like the Event Listener Breakpoints, but with an arbitrary method name instead an event name.

Answer 1

You can find the function name with a search and set the break point. You can use the following key combination to search accross the files.

• Windows: ctrl+shift+F
• OSX: Cmd + Opt + F

Answer 2

Just wanted to add another method that I came across today while searching, you can open the JS console and use debug(Some.path.to.myFunc) and it will set a debug breakpoint on the function. Use undebug(func) to unset it. You can also use monitor(func) and unmonitor(func) to get a console log when that function is called. Learned about these from: https://amasad.me/debugging
