When debugging JS using chrome development tool, while using step into next function(ctrl + ;). I'm getting into file names like VM****. Is there a way to get rid of this?

  • As per above link, this is a duplicate question and should be marked accordingly by someone with that privilege. – Gideon Pyzer Jul 05 '16 at 16:05
  • VM is for 'virtual machine.' It means the Javascript engine had to create the code to run it, either inline in an element event handler or through a call to eval(). – HardScale Jul 10 '16 at 02:01

    can we blackbox/or simply skip this script while debugging, Is there a way for that? – sree Jul 13 '16 at 12:22

I know this is a rather old subject, but I had the same issue and noticed if I used an Incognito Chrome instance, the VMXXXX scripts no longer show up during the trace when I did an Event Listener Breakpoint (was debugging click). If this helps anyone.
