How to know in which file that defined a js global var in chrome console?

Question

How to find out which file and line a variable was defined in using google chrome console?

For example, the variable Native (from MooTools) has been defined in global scope. I want to know in which file that defined this variable using google chrome console.

Answer 1

Using chrome :

1. Open the Web Inspector
2. Show the console and check if the var you're searching for exists (ex : Native Enter)
3. Click on the Resources panel
4. Enter Native=, var Native or Native = in the top right search field
5. You've got your result !

Here, there's only one result for the Native= search. The result is automatically highlighted, and the corresponding file opened. In my example, you can see the Native declaration was in mootools.core.js, line 12.

The top right search field doesn't exist anymore, in latest Chrome versions.
Instead of, click on Show drawer in the top right corner (or hit Esc), and select the Search tab that just appeared in the bottom of your screen:

You now need to use the three-dot button in the top right corner to find a Search all files option.
