How to debug the silk browser on the Kindle Fire?


I am experiencing some different javascript behavior when running my site on Kindle Fire than through Chrome. In order to debug this I need access to something like the Chrome Developer Tool or Firebug. Any suggestions?


Solution

  • In the same boat here... was hoping adb logcat would help, but javascript console messages don't seem to appear there. Perhaps there's something that needs to be set on the device to direct console logs to logcat?

    edit: found a decent solution: http://jsconsole.com -- allows you to set up a remote debug/logging console. Pretty simple (console logging only, so you'll need to dump a lot of into into the logs)... but it works well. Helped me track down the source of my issues, at least!
