console socket.io spam

See original GitHub issue

When BrowserSync is running, the console is just constantly spammed with the following every few milliseconds:

engine.io-client:socket socket receive: type "pong", data "undefined" +1ms
engine.io-client:socket writing ping packet - expecting pong within 60000ms +6ms

This makes standard debugging with console.log() impossible, and floods out any other logging. Is there an option or something I can do to disable this message?

Ah, OK. I found a temporary solution.

Open the browser console on your site (which spamming a lot of logs)
Type localStorage.debug = '' and ↩️
Reload the browser

Maybe this will do the trick.
