Debugging webOS applications
- 1. Debugging webOS Applications Steve Lemke webOS Tools Engineering April 23, 2010
- 2. About Me • ToolsEngineer at Palm • Palm (webOS) Emulator • Internal and external SDK/PDK tools • Previously • Palm Computing (acquired by US Robotics) • US Robotics (acquired by 3Com) • 3Com (spun out Palm Inc.) • Palm Inc. (spun out PalmSource) • PalmSource (acquired by Access Systems)
- 3. Overview • General Connectivity • JavaScript Logging • Palm Inspector and WORM • Host Mode for WebKit Inspector • Command Line Debugging • Ares Debugger • Emulator Tips and Tricks • Command Line Tips • Helpful Resources • Q&A
- 4. General Connectivity • IPvs. USB • IP over USB is tricky • novacom and novaterm • Default target is most recently connected target • Helpful if you realize it; confusing if not • Leave emulator running • Tip: connect device only when needed, then disconnect • ssh • Built-in to emulator (localhost:5522) • Can be added to device (“pdk-device-install”) • Useful on Windows (Putty) • Can tunnel other ports (but novacom will too)
- 5. JavaScript Logging • Use“Mojo.Log.Info” instead of “console.log” • Viewing log output: • Good: “novaterm” + “tail -f /var/log/messages” • Better: “palm-log -f com.test.app” • Best: Ares has built-in log viewer
- 6. JavaScript Logging • Toenable logging in framework_config.json: • “loglevel”:99 (enable Mojo.Log.info/warn) • “logEvents”:true (log framework/mouse events) • “timingEnabled”:true (log scene transition timing) • Restore default settings before shipping! • “loglevel”:0 (disable Mojo.Log.info/warn) • “logEvents”:false (no framework/mouse events) • “timingEnabled”:false (no scene transition timing) • MUST change system log level to see info/warn on device! • Default is “error” only • Type: palm-log --system-log-level info
- 7. Palm Inspector • Launchapplication with “palm-launch -i <appname>” • Launch “Palm Inspector” app • Type “palm-inspector” on Linux • Emulator only
- 9. Palm WORM • Launch“palm-worm” app • Live graphs of: • Total DOM nodes • Open service handles • JavaScript heap usage • Emulator only
- 11. Host Mode forWebKit Inspector • Web server running inside Palm Emulator • Set up a tunnel from host port 5581 • ssh -p 5522 -L 5581:localhost:8080 root@localhost • See hints for Windows tunnel on developer.palm.com • Use Safari (or Chrome) to inspect your app • http://localhost:5581/Apps • http://localhost:5581/PalmApps • Enable “Develop Menu” in Safari: Prefs: Advanced • Right-click and select “Inspect Element”
- 13. Command Line Debugging •novaterm or ssh to device • Type “debug” to run JavaScript debugger (like gdb) • Hit “enter” to stop/re-start • Common commands: • “help” and “scripts filename.js” • “break /path/to/file.js:<lineno>”, “en exc all” (catch exceptions) • “info break” and “clear <#>” • “c” (continue), “fin” (step out), “next” (step over), “step” (into) • “bt”, “down”, “up”, “frame <#>”, “scope” • “list, “list -” or “list 5,10” • “info args” or “info locals” • “print <expr>” or “set <var> = <expr>”
- 14. Command Line Debugging •Demo • $ palm-package DebugTest • $ palm-install com.demo.debug_1.0.0_all.ipk • $ palm-launch com.demo.debug • # novaterm • # debug • dbg> <return> • Debugger should display: • break in [anonymous](), [unnamed] line 1 column 1 • Undefined
- 15. Command Line Debugging •Demo (cont’d) • scripts first-assistant.js (list script path) • b file:///media/…/first-assistant.js:25 (set brkpt) • en exc all (enable exceptions all) • c (continue, trigger brkpt) • bt (backtrace) • l (list) • n (step over, hit exception) • print Mojo.Controller.stageController • set window.scene = Mojo.Controller.stageController.topScene() • p scene • p scene.sceneElement.querySelector('.palm-header').innerHTML • p scene.sceneElement.querySelector('.palm-header').innerHTML=“foo” • c (continue; observe header change) • clear 1 (clear breakpoint; exit debugger)
- 16. Ares (IDE) Debugger •Better than command-line debugger • Source-level debugging • Integrated log viewer • Interactive console • Don’t have to develop in Ares to debug with it • http://ares.palm.com • Import your project, run, and debug • Use svn (or hg) to avoid re-importing to update
- 17. Ares (Standalone) Debugger •Stand-alone Ares Debugger (NEW!) • Separate from IDE; no sources needed • Just attach and debug • http://ares.palm.com/AresDebug • Stand-alone Ares Log Viewer • http://ares.palm.com/AresLog • Ares will also be able to debug devices over USB

- 19. Emulator Tips andTricks • GPS, Accelerometer, and Audio • GPS info: Search developer.palm.com for “luna-send” • Accelerometer: F5 to shake; F6–F9 to rotate • Sound: http://bit.ly/enableSound • Suspend and Resume works! • Note: Novacom needs 5–10 seconds to reset • VirtualBox GUI app • Renaming (or Deleting) VMs • Prefs: Check for Updates, Auto Capture Keyboard
- 20. Emulator Tips andTricks • Palm Emulator supports multiple webOS versions • Current SDK emulator image installed here: • Mac: /Applications/Palm Emulator.app/Contents/Resources/Images • Linux: /opt/PalmSDK/Current/share/emulator/images • Windows: C:Program FilesPalmSDKshareemulatorimages • You may store additional vmdk.zip files here: • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Palm/SDK/Images • Linux: ~/.Palm/SDK/Images • Windows: <user>/Local Settings/Application Data/Palm/SDK/Images • Save old vmdk.zip before installing newer SDK
- 21. Command-Line Tips • Justremember “palm-help” • Shows all available SDK commands • Every command supports --help • Even “palm-help --help” • Try “palm-help --sdk-info” • If emulator won’t boot… • “palm-emulator --list” • “palm-emulator --reset=<vmname>” • If all else fails… • Remove ~/Library/VirtualBox (deletes all VMs!) • “palm-emulator --debug”
- 22. Helpful Resources • http://developer.palm.com/ • Online docs • Developer forums • Forum search is different from site search • http://www.weboshelp.net/ • (Third party site) • IRC: irc.freenode.net • Firewall blocked? Try port 8000 • Join #webos room
