Bug 233556 – Console Timing API does not contain space before duration when it gets printed

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Web Inspector

[Max Schmitt]

```js
console.time("MyTimer");
console.timeLog("MyTimer");
```

Expected:

```
MyTimer: 0.018 ms
```

Actual:

```
MyTimer: 0.018ms
```

There should be a space between the duration and the unit, see here in the spec: https://console.spec.whatwg.org/#timelog

I dont think this is correct.  The exact wording is

> Let _duration_ be a string representing the difference between the current time and _startTime_, in an implementation-defined format.

The only space that's required is between the `:` and the _duration_, which we already have.  The example includes spaces, but that's just an example not required output.

Thanks, Devin, the spec never explicitly mentions a space between the value and unit in _duration_. For example, in the latest Node.js release, the output is `MyTimer: 0.018ms`.

Our normal style in Web Inspector is to not have a space between the value and unit, so unless there's some compelling reason to do this I don't think we should break from our usual style.
