How to increase number of Call Stack entries in Google Chrome Developer Tools (or Firefox)?

Chrome solution

https://v8.dev/docs/stack-trace-api

can set via commandline on startup --js-flags="--stack-trace-limit <value>"

or at runtime at loading a page: Error.stackTraceLimit=undefined //unlimited stack trace

In Chrome (also in node), you can type this in the js console:

Error.stackTraceLimit = Infinity;

Alternatively see this page for Chrome command line flags: https://v8.dev/docs/stack-trace-api (need to restart Chrome):

$ google-chrome --js-flags="--stack-trace-limit 10000"

I don't think there's a limit on call stack size*). Usually a stack trace that seems to come out of nowhere results from either

• an event listener
• a timeout (window.setTimeout)
• an interval (window.setInterval)
• some script loading after page has loaded (possibly iframe)

_{*) Of course, technically there certainly is some limit, but I gues it's practically irrelevant. Probably longint or something.}

edit: From Firebug source code:

    if (trace.frames.length > 100)  // TODO in the loop above    {        var originalLength = trace.frames.length;        trace.frames.splice(50, originalLength - 100);        var excuse = "(eliding "+(originalLength - 100)+" frames)";        trace.frames[50] = new StackFrame.StackFrame({href: excuse}, 0, excuse,            [], null, null, context);     }

So Firebug will always show the first 50 and the last 50 items ("frames") of the call stack.
