Even for iOS6, the debug protocol isn't something you really have access to. Desktop Safari and mobile WebKit talk to each other via secret USB protocols, for instance. > Enable script debugging > --- > > Key: CB-3494 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3494 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: weinre > Environment: Server: OSX > Target: Android 4.0.3, Cordova 2.7.0 >Reporter: Martin Naumann >Assignee: Patrick Mueller > Labels: javascript, newbie > > Debugging Javascript in a cordova application or on any mobile target would > be very handy and many colleagues requested it or expressed the need for it. > It would be great to be able to set / unset breakpoints in Javascript > (executing on the target device) and see the "Scripts" panel, that > WebInspector provides. > I tried enabling the scripts panel / JS debugger but I think I need some > poking in the right direction here, as I got stuck. > I got to this point: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BK-16yOCMAEmm9K.png:large -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Web Inspector (and Chrome DevTools) use a lot of native code to do what they do. Stuff that you can't do from just JavaScript. weinre contains no native code, it's all JavaScript, so weinre can't do anything that you can't do from JavaScript. Turns out, there's a lot we can do in JavaScript! We can get all the DOM and CSSOM information for the Elements panel (well, not all of it, but a lot of it), we can enable the Console functionality, etc. Problem with the Scripts panel is that it all relies on native code. There's no JavaScript API we can use in the browser to "set breakpoints". There's no way in JavaScript to "stop at a breakpoint" and return information about your state. The best answer would seem to be the Aardwolf approach, which requires scripts to be pre-processed to include debugging information. If you REALLY want to add JS debugging to weinre, I would suggest that approach. > Enable script debugging > --- > > Key: CB-3494 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3494 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: weinre > Environment: Server: OSX > Target: Android 4.0.3, Cordova 2.7.0 >Reporter: Martin Naumann >Assignee: Patrick Mueller > Labels: javascript, newbie > > Debugging Javascript in a cordova application or on any mobile target would > be very handy and many colleagues requested it or expressed the need for it. > It would be great to be able to set / unset breakpoints in Javascript > (executing on the target device) and see the "Scripts" panel, that > WebInspector provides. > I tried enabling the scripts panel / JS debugger but I think I need some > poking in the right direction here, as I got stuck. > I got to this point: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BK-16yOCMAEmm9K.png:large -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Edited the issue to make it clearer. It may be non-trivial, but the tools should be there. WebInspector, for example, contains the "Scripts" panel and hints to a Javascript Debugger, which isn't enabled. Sure there is the Safari debugger and sure for Chrome on Android there is remote web debugging - but why not have it in Weinre? I basically want the ability to set/unset breakpoints and if I'm really lucky watch expressions, scope etc. [~pmuellr] The joys of open source. I digged into the code, found the DebuggerModel, DebuggerDispatcher, some hints in vendor/webkit/WebCore/inspector/InjectedScriptHost.idl and the hidden "Scripts" Panel. For there I started trying. Aardwolf would be a good starting point and seeing that Chrome on Android has a debugger protocol (https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/debugger-protocol) I think there's some development in this direction, so maybe it will be easier in the future.. > Enable script debugging > --- > > Key: CB-3494 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3494 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: weinre > Environment: Server: OSX > Target: Android 4.0.3, Cordova 2.7.0 >Reporter: Martin Naumann >Assignee: Patrick Mueller > Labels: javascript, newbie > > Debugging Javascript in a cordova application or on any mobile target would > be very handy and many colleagues requested it or expressed the need for it. > It would be great to be able to set / unset breakpoints in Javascript > (executing on the target device) and see the "Scripts" panel, that > WebInspector provides. > I tried enabling the scripts panel / JS debugger but I think I need some > poking in the right direction here, as I got stuck. > I got to this point: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BK-16yOCMAEmm9K.png:large -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

But as far as I know, it's non-trivial to enable script debugging for weinre. Best thing we could do is something like [Aardwolf|https://github.com/lexandera/Aardwolf]. I've never thought it was worth the effort. * for iOS >= 6, you can use remote debugging with Safari on a Mac. * for the Chrome browser on Android, you can also do remote debugging with Chrome on your desktop, not much help for Cordova apps though. * recent Blackberry devices have supported remote debugging as well > Enable script debugging > --- > > Key: CB-3494 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3494 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: weinre >Reporter: Martin Naumann >Assignee: Patrick Mueller > Labels: javascript, newbie > > Debugging Javascript in a cordova application or on any mobile target would > be very handy and many colleagues requested it or expressed the need for it. > I tried enabling the scripts panel / JS debugger but I think I need some > poking in the right direction here, as I got stuck. > I got to this point: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BK-16yOCMAEmm9K.png:large -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

What platform are you having the issue on? What aspect of 'script debugging' are you asking for? Remote debugging? or on the device? > Enable script debugging > --- > > Key: CB-3494 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3494 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: weinre >Reporter: Martin Naumann >Assignee: Patrick Mueller > Labels: javascript, newbie > > Debugging Javascript in a cordova application or on any mobile target would > be very handy and many colleagues requested it or expressed the need for it. > I tried enabling the scripts panel / JS debugger but I think I need some > poking in the right direction here, as I got stuck. > I got to this point: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BK-16yOCMAEmm9K.png:large -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
