Is it possible to blackbox all VM scripts in chrom

Question

I'm trying to debug quite a complicated module in my angular app. I've set a break point at the start of a particular method hoping I could follow it through and see where it's giving me back an error. However, it keeps bringing me into the VM scripts (VM28337, VM30559, etc). I can assume these all work as they should, so I have no interest in seeing them.

I know I can blackbox certain scripts in chrome debugger, but there seems to be an endless amount of these VM scripts. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to circumvent these scripts?

Answer 1

A development-time-only workaround can be to override eval in your page -

(function ()
 {
  var originalEval = eval;
  eval =
   function (script)
   {
    return originalEval(script + "\n//# sourceURL=blackbox-this.js");
   }
 }());

And then blackbox ^.*blackbox-this.js$

Same for setInterval/setTimeout when it gets a string (but that is a bad practice anyway, right? ;))

Does that work for you?

This doesn't appear to be possible in any version of Chrome at the moment. However, I create a Chromium bug to request it get added: Chromium Issue 526239
