console.log/console.dir showing last state of object, not current

Question

I want to log how my array/object is changing with new steps of loop. `Console.log` does this bad. It shows only last state of object everywhere. For example: ``` var a = {}; console.log(a); // {bob1: 0, bob2: 0} a.bob1 = 0; console.log(a); // {bob1: 0, bob2: 0} a.bob2 = 0; console.log(a); // {bob1: 0, bob2: 0} ``` I found there, on so, another command: `console.dir`. It is working properly in same example. It shows states of object correcly. Look this example. This command works perfect: http://jsfiddle.net/RLzVV/ Now, look my code pls. All output is in console. http://jsfiddle.net/3BDs7/4/ This is aStar algorithm. Take a look on this part (neighbor 3 loop `<--- neighbor 3 start ---> this code is situated here <--- neighbor 3 stop -->`) in console. Lanes, which output this to console are `105-113`: ``` new openset length: 2 openset after adding new vertex **shows 1 element, but length is 2** ``` It shows length is 2, but shows only 1 element. But! Seems to me algo is working correctl…

That's a known issue -- sounds like you are running under Chrome.

The easiest work-around is to JSON encode the value as you log in.

```
console.log(JSON.stringify(a));
```
