ibug: Firebug for your (i)Phone

Debug JavaScript on your mobile device from the comfort of your desktop browser.

Originally developed by Joe Hewitt: Announcement - Subversion

This is rough around the edges.

Tested running on Chrome OSX with a 3.0 iPhone 3GS.

Setup

• Download and install Node.js: http://nodejs.org/#download

• Run the server: node server.js.

• You can specify host/port if you'd like: node server.js example.com:80.

• Point a browser at the server, http://YOUR_IP:8001/. This is your console.

• You can use 127.0.0.1 as YOUR_IP but this will not work on an actual device.

• Paste <script type="application/x-javascript" src="http://YOUR_IP:8001/ibug.js"></script> into the page you want to debug.

• Open the page you want to debug in your browser. This is your client.

• Type alert('Hello world!') in your console window.

• BAM.
