Show GMCP Output in Chrome

Theris

Just a quick question:

A friend of mine once explained to me how to show GMCP output in a side window in Google Chrome, while using the HTML5 client. There was some keyboard shortcut that brought up a window that showed everything I was getting in the GMCP messages, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is.

Could someone please let me know how I can view the GMCP messages sent to the client in Chrome?

There's an option in the settings window for "Log raw output to console", which will put all of the raw data sent from the server in there.

1. Go to Advanced settings and check Log raw output to console (you don't need to save or apply settings, and you need to do this every time you want it after logging in, it won't save across sessions).
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+J while in the main tab. The javascript console is relative to the Chrome tab you had active when you opened it. If you press Ctrl+Shift+J while in the options tab, you're going to get a javascript console for the options tab.
3. Make sure you're on the "Console" tab.

The gmcp message should then be visible (the console isn't retroactive, you'll have to do something that generates a new gmcp message or wait for a heartbeat message). I just tested it and it works fine for me. If you're still having trouble, maybe try disabling Chrome extensions just to be sure, but I can't think of anything that would cause problems.

Chrome specific makes me think the javascript console, ctrl-shift-J

Note: I haven't tried this, so I could be pretty far off.

I tried using ctrl+shift+j, and it looks like the same kind of window I was seeing before, but all I see are "render time" on the left and stuff starting with "map.js" on the right. Even when I know that GMCP messages are happening (I triggered a notification to certain GMCP messages to test it), I still only see that "render time" stuff.
