Description Vladimir Riha 2013-07-07 19:36:05 UTC 
Please try to run this in e.g. Chrome with NB integration:


function Test(){
    var func = function(){};
    var number = 1;
    window.console.log(typeof func); // line breakpoint here
}

new Test();


Once code execution stops at given breakpoint, if you open Variables window, then "funct" is not there. Also if you hover over "func" in editor, there is no tooltip with property value (at least type "Function" or entire body function would be helpful - but I noticed that only because Variables window didn't help me). Workaround is easy but a bit impractical: add watch for "func". 

I'm marking it is P2 as it could be confusing, especially if you are debugging complex code or learning new patterns. But if you disagree, I don't have a strong opinion about it so please feel free to lower it.

Comment 1 Vladimir Riha 2013-07-07 19:38:49 UTC 
Similarly:

function Test(){
    this.number = 1;
    this.func = function(){}
}

(function(){
  var a = new Test();
    window.console.log(1); // line breakpoint here
})()


=> Variables window does not show "func" property of "a". I haven't found a way to workaround that.

Considering also comment #1, I think this deserves P2
Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2013-07-17 13:27:27 UTC 
Functions are intentionally filtered out in the code.
It's not clear to me why, since Chrome shows them. Therefore I'll remove the filtering.
