I would like to develop GNOME Shell extensions and found it's really easy to step into the development process but I still can't figure out how to debug / test my extensions effectively.
Are there any tools for that purpose? Is there any kind of real time console like we have on modern browsers or javascript servers environments?

You can determine the version of GNOME that is running on your system by going to the About panel in Settings. Open the Activities overview and start typing About. A window appears showing information about your system, including your distribution's name and the GNOME version.
Now we are ready to install GNOME Shell extensions. Open you Firefox browser and click on the GNOME extension icon. Search for and select an extension you wish to install. Flip the provided switch to install the desired extension.
Yes, the real-time console is called "Looking Glass" and can be started by pressing Alt+F2 and typing lg at the prompt.
