Console script tags garbling up non-html output (e.g. json) when in devMode

Question

I have a plugin returning json from a controller action using $this->returnJson(...).

Works great in production, but when devMode = true, the json is invalidated because Craft is still dumping the console debugging script at the end of the content.

What's the best way to avoid this?

Answer 1

Just remove these two logging routes from your plugin's init() method in your PluginHandlePlugin.php file:

craft()->log->removeRoute('WebLogRoute');
craft()->log->removeRoute('ProfileLogRoute');

That will prevent the extra logging and profiling information to be output in the browser's console when devMode is enabled.
