Summary: JavaScriptCore needs a debugger for debugging
stand-alone (non-browser) scripts
Product: WebKit
Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
Platform: Macintosh Intel
OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: JavaScriptCore
AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
ReportedBy: dwood at karelia.com
Summary:
If you are trying to write and debug some JavaScript code that is intended to be run from JavaScriptCore, and *not* from within a browser window, there does not seem to be way to attach the JavaScript debugger, now that Drosera has been folded into Safari.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a Cocoa Application that executes some JavaScript code via JavaScriptCore methods.
2. Try to debug it.
Expected Results:
You should be able to somehow attach a JavaScript debugger so you can step through your code, examine global variables, etc.
Actual Results:
You can't. (Unless the debugger and instructions on how to attach it are hidden away!)
Regression:
I think that when Drosera was a stand-alone application, you could do this. But Drosera isn't part of the webkit nightlies anymore and the old version I tried crashes.
Notes:
JavaScript is DA FUTURE so we gotta figure out how to debug it!
