Javascript debugger for PhoneGap

Question

Though PhoneGap is very quick way of making applications, debugging becomes difficult. Is there any good debugging/testing tool for javascript written for PhoneGap such as IE developer tools?

Thank you.

There's a way to go for mobile debugging to get as good as desktop, but weinre and ripple come the closest that I've seen.

Weinre does web inspection to a remote device (no breakpoints). Ripple is a Chrome plug-in that uses simulation to run and debug mobile apps in the Chrome browser.

Yes! Today there are some new tools.

Right now I am debugging a cordova application programmed for android.

My suggestion is to use GapDebug for Debugging. This is a real debugger where you have:

a full JavaScript Debugger (setting breakpoints works great)
CSS and DOM inspector as good as in "chrome developer tools"
in GapDebug GUI you can deploy your .apk files directly to the smartphone
the process between the cmd-command "cordova build" and the "starting of the app on the smartphone" is even quicker than starting it in the cordova-emulator

Have fun:
