I used to be able to have the occasional console.log() in a node's html file for debugging purposes, the output of which would appear in the console output of the web developer tools tab at bottom of my browser (ctrl+shift+i in Firefox).
I've tried that today with a couple of my nodes today but no console output is emitted any more. Has that been explicitly stopped from within node-red or should I look elsewhere for the cause?
Thanks,
chris

Forget it. I just did a "npm install path-to-node" from within ~/.node-red again and that seems to have fixed it.
Sorry for the noise,
chris
