How to trace which functions javascript event(click) goes through before it crashes?

Question

So I am trying to debug my app and I am trying to determine what is causing my error but I cannot simply look at Chrome's console because it only shows me which function last called it. I am trying to trace the whole path from an event to crash. Is there a way to do such a thing? Thanks!

Can't you turn on "Pause on all Exceptions" in your developer tools Sources tab? Then the script should pause on your error and you can look at the call stack on the right hand side (of the Sources tab still). — Default

The solution which @Barmar proposed worked perfectly. However, your solution sounds very promising as well! I will definitely give it a try next time! — Georgi Angelov

Set a breakpoint at the beginning of the event handler function. When the event occurs, the program will stop in the debugger. Then you can use the single-step buttons to step through the code.
