I agree 100%, we should be able to see all bids not just "available bids"

@acidrainz and @mercuryyy you need to update the snippet for the v1.0 release. the pre 1.0 version dosent work properly http://prebid.org/dev-docs/toubleshooting-tips.html#see-all-bids-in-the-console

[mercuryyy]

@chefbenjamin even with the new snippet it only shows availibe bids, meaning bids that did not get a reasponse back are not shown where in 0.36 it was.

@mkendall07 Matt you asked how will this matter, well when creative size mapping and having a large adunits files seeing all bids sent even without response bad helps debugging your setup and seeing all ad sizes were requested correctly.

[chefbenjamin]

@mercuryyy that is true. the old version of the snippet did show bid requests with an empty response.

that said, I can see how multiple ad sizes might be a good debugging feature.

I have been using this information a lot for debugging before. It would be great if we could get access to it via. the js console again. On another matter, I never understood why this snippet was needed with 0.x, since we could just print the entire list of all bids containing no bids and errors, too.

Can this be reopened, please?

[mkendall07]

Re-opening in case someone wants to implement. Don't expect the core team will have bandwidth to tackle this though.

@mkendall07 i looked through the analytics api and i cant find anything that will return value for empty bids.

if i want to pass to analytics bids returned empty but did not timeout its not possible.
if i want to pass to analytics bids that timed out with no bid response at all not possible.

I saw many in Slack have the same concerns.

For testing adapters/bidders this is crucial, i hope @prebid re-consider adding an option to display/hide that data in both.
.getBidResponses()
.getBidResponsesForAdUnitCode(..)
