Professor Prebid with Prebid 10+ causes log spam

[salvoaranzulla]

Description

We are seeing an infinite loop of logs in the browser console when using Prebid.js 10.19.0.

Console Output (repeating endlessly)

Prebid INFO: Invoking pbjs.getEvents []
Prebid INFO: Invoking pbjs.getConfig []
Prebid INFO: Invoking pbjs.getUserIdsAsEids []

...

These three calls (getEvents, getConfig, getUserIdsAsEids) repeat continuously, causing an infinite loop.

Environment

Prebid.js version: 10.19.0
Browsers: all

Are you using Professor Prebid by chance? If yes, does disabling it stop the logs? I ask because I am unable to reproduce - and PP works by polling Prebid through those methods, which since 10 generate more logs.

I confirm that I use that Chrome extension. When I disable it, the logs disappear. So the problem is caused by using that extension?

Yes, although it's a problem only in the sense that it's annoying. I followed up on the PP issue to discuss a solution, I think it requires changes in both Prebid and PP, so we can keep this one open as well.
