# How to take a State Dump
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sometimes a UI bug is hard to reproduce, but we'd like to rapidly develop against the application state that caused the bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this case, a MetaMask developer will sometimes ask a user with a bug to perform a "state dump", so we can use some internal tools to reproduce and fix the bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To take a state dump, follow these steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Get the MetaMask popup to the point where it shows the bug (the developer will probably specify exactly where).
|
||
|
|
2. Right click on the extension popup UI, and in the menu, click "Inspect". This will open the developer tools.
|
||
|
|
3. In case it isn't already selected, click the "Console" tab in the new Developer Tools window.
|
||
|
|
4. In the console, type this command exactly: `logState()`. This should print a bunch of JSON text into your console.
|
||
|
|
5. Copy that printed JSON text
|
||
|
|
6. *Optional*: Annonymize that text if you'd like (you may change all instances of an account address to another valid account address, for example) We may automate the anonymization in the future.
|
||
|
|
7. Send that JSON text to the developer, ideally pasting it in the issue regarding the bug.
