Like if I’m using print statements to test my code. Is it okay to leave stuff like that in there when “publishing” the app/program?
Edit: So I meant logging. Not “tests”. Using console.log to see if the code is flowing properly. I’ll study up on debugging. Also, based on what I managed to grasp from your very helpful comments, it is not okay to do, but the severity of how much of an issue it is depends on the context? Either that or it’s completely avoidable in the first place if I just use “automated testing” or “loggers”.
(Guessing JS / TS) I look after a moderately sized app, and still find
console.log()useful sometimes. They are all protected by a Boolean, so we haveauthLog && console.log('something about auth')and the bools are all set in one global file. So turning debug logging on and off is very simple.The best thing is that when it’s off, the bundler strips all the console log lines from the source, so they’re not even there-but-inactive in production.
