Keep safari remote debugging open on navigation

Question

I'm using Safari's remote debugging to inspect a webview in an iPhone app in my simulator. The problem is that the remote debugging window closes as soon as the app does.

I have an action which switches to another app and back but I can't read console.log messages from immediately before the switch because I'm not quick enough and I can't read logs from immediately after coming back to my app because I have to re-open the console first.

Is there a way to keep it open so I can at least see the last logs from before switching apps?

Answer 1

Here is an AppleScript that launches Safari Inspector. You can export it as an executable application and have it sitting in your dock to get into Inspector with a single click or launch it in a build phase in Xcode.

tell application "Safari"
    activate
    delay 2
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "Safari"
            set frontmost to true
            click menu item 2 of menu 1 of menu item "iPad Simulator" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Develop" of menu bar 1
        end tell
    end tell
end tell
