Description Darin Adler 2022-01-01 01:46:44 PST 
Here are the names of functions to put messages in the JavaScript console that I have found:

addConsoleMessage
addMessage
convertToExceptionAndLog
logConsolePersistencyError
logError
logExceptionToConsole
logMockScrollbarsControllerMessage
logSecurityError
printErrorMessage
printToConsole
reportMessage

Note that some of them "add" the messages, some "log" them, some "print" them, and some "report" them. But they are all doing the same thing and so should use the same verb I think.

Also, some mention the console, but the ones that say "log" mostly don’t mention the console.
