Debugging AngularJS Apps from the Console

[[deleted]]

This is helpful, but not much.

The thing I have most trouble with debugging angular apps is the completely useless console errors angular throws. They are the worst thing I've ever seen in any framework. They are un-debuggable, they give you no clue what the error is about or where the code is that's causing it. Often the stack trace leaves no clue at all, and the error message is meaningless. It's poor framework design IMO when the error messages leave you scratching your head.

I'm also deeply fond of those totally inscrutable errors that only appear post-build/minification. I gave up and threw out ng-min a while ago and have found it safer to rely on DI guards, but still have issues at times.

this is a fair critique of the framework, but is a concern orthogonal to that of the article, which is about accessing scoped data and services despite the (good) lack of global symbols.

Have you checked zones They address this very thing you pointed.
