Debugging tips for newbies -- on the wiki

[Phil Mitchell]

I have just posted an Intro to PhoneGap Debugging on the wiki. Not
because I'm an expert -- definitely a newbie myself -- but because it
was the biggest lack I found when starting with PG a little while ago.
(I spent hours trying to figure out if I could set a javascript
breakpoint in Xcode.)

http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/16494768/Debugging%20PhoneGap%20Apps

I would definitely welcome any corrections or additions.

The two desktop PhoneGap mocks you mention are fairly limited.

I would suggest looking at;

 

1. the Ripple emulator (http://ripple.tinyhippos.com/) this runs as a Chrome plugin and provides a UI to enable you to provide data to PhoneGap API calls.

2. PhoneGap desktop https://github.com/jxp/phonegap-desktop. A pure javascript library, it allows you to return data from a json file for each PhoneGap API call. This allows pre-saved test data to be re-used. It is also written to be easily extendable to perform the same function for plugins. (BTW I wrote this library)

Excellent! I meant to include Ripple, but didn't know about our plugin. Btw, anyone can edit the wiki :)

"Depending on your app, you may want to include code that mocks the PhoneGap API,"
You probably mean to say,
"Depending on your app, you may want to include code that mimics the PhoneGap API,"

I'll add this to my PhoneGap links this Friday at

Thanks, I've updated the wiki page with both of these suggestions.
