alyx17238yAh, that's the heisenbug, whose behaviour changes when any attempt is made to observe it.
-
@alyx well it's more like, until you peek at it, the bug is simultaneously existent and non existent.
-
@nickhh it might be and I might not. You never know what nasty things a debugger can do to a debuggee...
-
brod99258yA close second is the bug which only occurs during debugging and inspection.
(there was a setInterval bug in chrome which occurred if devtools was open) -
@brod those are a lot more benign though. But yea some hot sections of code are a bit tricky to debug/trace
-
This are there bugs that appear when the developer console is closed because the caches are enabled then.
-
@blauesocke you know that you can change the setting so that caches are enabled when the console is open, right?
What's the worst bug? Schrödinger's bug, one that only appears when the debugger is not attached, and your test instruments are disabled.
