How can I get rid of those error messages ^^^^

Totally second that. Have looked on Google forever to solve this. Any results so far?

Traced it back to the resources.js file, line 312. There the error is passed to a callback but there are so many callbacks floating around there that I can't see where the message is actually console.log'ged. Commenting the "return" line helps though, but I don't know if it breaks something else in the process...

Nothing. Nobody from Zombie ever got back to me

I opened up an official issue on the zombie github page yesterday, linking to your gist. Let's see if it helps. Testing REST-Interfaces with that "error" in place is annoying at best...

Thanks. Keep me posted on what you get back

Have you ever tried 'debug:false' option?

browser = new zombie.Browser({debug:false})

Course. I even identified the line in the code that does this console.log (see above, rosources.js, line 312) and it is not limited by anything...

I overlooked it.
My bad.

Any updates on solving this?

According to the developer this is fixed in the latest release. Anyone tried it yet?

I tried. Still no luck.
