possiblity to debug user-extensions.js in selenium

Question

Hi,

i have a webapp which is tested by selenium. Everything works well: writing tests in java, setting breakpoints in my webapp through firebug.

unfortunately i am not able to debug the user-extensions.js it self: After starting the java-test, two firefox windows are opened. One holds the webapp to test, the other one holds the data-flow which uses the user-extensions.

Does anybody know how i can debug the user-extensions?

kind regards, el

Answer 1

It seems that it is not possible. I made a workaround and switched the functions to my webapp to debug them there.

Answer 2

It really depends on the browser you're using. I've been able to debug user-extensions using Chrome. In the control Window, you need to right-click and then view the window as a tab. Once you do that, you can activate the developer tools for the control window, which will include the JavaScript debugger.
