How to debug safari extension popover?

Question

How to open javascript console for extension popover in safari?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, it looks like Apple forgot to provide a way to open a console for a popover.

To somewhat facilitate debugging a popover, you can use the console.log() method of the extension's global page from a script in the popover:

  safari.extension.globalPage.contentWindow.console.log()

This will write to the global page's console.
