How to print to javascript console in Pycharm/Intellij

Question

Given a tiny web page that includes

console.log('hello ..')

in it: we can see the output on chrome developer tools | console

However it does not show up on the Pycharm console :

So then: how to make it show up in pycharm - is that possible? If not then what actually is that console for?

Answer 1

When a browser starts parsing HTML, it executes javascript scripts and console logs to a developer console( if specified to do so) that is a part of a browser. Your Pycharm console has nothing to do with a browser parsing HTML. You can execute js scripts in console with node.js and see output in that console.
