967226 - console.assert should include a stack trace

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 920116

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P3)

Description

[Brian Grinstead [:bgrins]]

According to https://github.com/DeveloperToolsWG/console-object/blob/master/api.md#consoleassertexpression-object:

> console.assert(expression, object)
> If the specified expression is false, the message is written to the console along with a stack trace.

Right now, there is no trace provided alongside the logged object.

Here is a test case: http://jsfiddle.net/bgrins/pBc5S/.

STR: 
* Call console.assert(false, "Console assertion is false")

Expected:
* "Console assertion is false" is printed to the console, along with a stack trace

Actual
* "Console assertion is false" is printed to the console, but no stack trace is included

Thanks for the report! We have some bugs about adding stack traces to various messages: bug 920116 and bug 814497.

console.assert has had a stack since bug 920116 landed, I believe.
