Copy local scope variables in Chrome developer tools

Problem:

I would like to use Chrome developer tools to access local scoped variables when debugging Javascript applications.

I am already familiar with debugging with using developer tools, including setting breakpoints and pausing code execution.

How to reminder:

  • set break point to pause execution within the desired scope
  • to access the local scope variable, type it in the console while script execution is still paused in the desired scope (see image below)

Notes:

This was verified to work in Chrome version 54. Your mileage may vary using other versions.
