My javascript file is displayed as a single line of text in the chrome debugger. Why?

I seem to run into this randomly. It usually displays the file normally, but sometimes it's all scrunched onto one line. I can't figure out what's cau开发者_如何学编程sing it.

N.B.: In the current version of Chrome, this is actually done by clicking on the {} icon ("pretty print") on the lower left of the developer tools pane.

Ah, figured it out. The line endings on the problem file got set to Mac format somehow, while the rest of the files were Windows format. Not sure how the format swapped but it's easy to convert back (in Notepad++ just go Edit -> EOL Conversion).

You already answered your own question, but this is a good place to note that Chrome (as of v12, currently in dev channel) has a built-in pretty-print function that can make quick work of the typical one-line JavaScript files that all well-behaved websites generate. In Web Inspector's Scripts tab, select a file via the usual dropdown, and right click on the source code. Selecting "De-obsfucate Source" will format the file in a reasonable way, and even allow you to set breakpoints inside the newly reformated code. It's quite helpful.
