Joshua Walsh commented on CB-6991:
----------------------------------
"hmmm, last I remember, you could certainly use `console.log()` in iOS and
Android"
Perhaps I'm using an older version of those then, because I hooked
window.onerror and that was the error I was getting.
"the console object may well be injected into the global scope, and not
available as a property of the "window" object"
In JavaScript, the window object IS the global scope.
testVariable = "test";
console.log(window.testVariable); //Logs "test" in the console
"Could you only get weinre to work on iOS and Android and wp8 by modifying that
code? If so, that's a weird regression since weinre has worked in the past on
those platforms."
Yep, that's what happened, and yes, it's a weird regression.
And as for not needing Weinre on Android or iOS, I like the way Weinre does
debugging, and I like having the same debugging interface on all of my
platforms. It's also easier to set up Weinre, or it would have been if I didn't
have to spend hours tracking down this bug.

> Key: CB-6991
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6991
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: weinre
> Environment: Windows Phone 8.0, iOS, Android
> Reporter: Joshua Walsh
> Assignee: Patrick Mueller
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: easyfix, javascript
> Original Estimate: 10m

> I couldn't work out where to submit a pull request, so I'm doing an issue
> report instead. Additionally, this issue applies to version
> 2.0.0-pre-HH0SN197 of Weinre, but I don't know which version of Cordova that
> maps to.
> This issue has been a massive pain to debug, as the issue is not present on
> desktop computers and there are no debugging tools on mobile devices, hence
> why I need Weinre in the first place! In fact, the issue is even more
> specific than that: The issue affects all browsers WITHOUT debugging tools.
> The error is: "Unable to set property __original of undefined or null
> reference." The issue occurs on line 172 of Console.amd.js. In order to fix
> it, I added the following lines of code above line 168:
> if(!window.console)
> {
> window.console = {};
> }
> I'm sure there's a more elegant way of solving this, but it does the trick.
> Good luck!
