react-native version 0.75.3 Hermes logs not working properly: Not expanding the object

[aurangs7]

Description

In React Native version 0.75.3, Hermes engine logs are not working as expected. Specifically, when logging objects, the objects are not expanding fully, making it difficult to debug and inspect object properties.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Update the react-native version from 0.74.2 to 0.75.3.

2. Enable Hermes in iOS and Android both

3. Create a component that logs an object in the console, for example:

   const obj = { name: 'John', age: 30, details: { city: 'New York' } };
   console.log(obj);

4. Run the app on an Android device or emulator (npx react-native run-android).

5. Open the debug console to view the Hermes logs.

Expected behavior:

• The logged object should expand, allowing inspection of its nested properties.

Actual behavior:

• The object is not expanding in the console, only showing a collapsed version, preventing inspection of deeper object properties.

Hey @aurangs7! We previously included a Hermes fix in 0.74.1 that I believe is related to this issue. I'd recommend checking that Hermes is updated correctly via CocoaPods/Gradle.

Note that object inspection will be thoroughly fixed from React Native 0.76 in our new React Native DevTools stack.

Hi @huntie
Thank you for the response.
This issue is real, I tried it on 3 projects, running on react-native 0.75.3 and having debugging issues. Facing below issues:

1. Chrome DevTools window does not show logs after some time
2. After some time the objects are not expanding

I have to close and open the DevTools window again to get the logs and after some time it also does not respond.

If possible, try opening the DevTools window for some time and then try expanding the logs.
