The problem is that I forget on a regular basis to remove those console.log statements. I wrote a very quick and dirty perl script which searches files with an .js extension for console.log. I put that script in the t/ folder and named it forbidden_words.t.

It works great so far and my test suite fails as soon as there is still a console.log around. I plan to extend this script to something like Test::ForbiddenWords or something where you can specify file extensions and strings (or regexes).

I couldn’t find anything like this on the CPAN, so give me a comment if you like the idea or know something better.
