NPM NPM version Gittip

ui-console the web console

Web developer tools for testing, scripting and debugging on remote devices. This project is under work and maybe there some bug. I made this tool for my own use at the beginning and I thought it might be useful to other people too.

With uiconsole you run on remote devices (Android, IOS, Computer ...) Firebug lite, WEINRE, GREMLIN.JS, TAPE

You are able to take a Screenshot of the current web page too. This is possible with the html2canvas library.

There is a JSCONSOLE, which allows you to send javascript commands to the target Web page.

You can also define commands javascript to run tests simultaneously on your different devices.

This is very useful when you need to see a page rendering on different devices, phone, tablet or computer at the same time. Need to enter the same login passwords on all devices, a real time saver.

Installation

Install this globally and you'll have access to the uiconsole command anywhere on your system.

npm install -g uiconsole

Usage

  • Create a folder.

     mkdir uiconsole
     cd uiconsole
    
  • Generate config file.

     uiconsole init
    
  • Setup your server parameters in _conf.json

     {
         "host": "192.168.2.136",
         "port": "8080",
         "weinreHost": "192.168.2.136",
         "weinrePort": "8282"
     }
    
  • Populate database.

     uiconsole initdb
    
  • A small SQLite database is created for user management. The default account is admin for the User name and password for password.

  • If you want to use your custom javascript command.

     uiconsole initCustomJS
    
  • Setup your custom javascript command parameters in _customJS.json. Set a label and cmd. Respect JSON format data.

  • Start 'uiconsole' and a web server and a socket server run on port 8080.

     uiconsole
    
  • Weinre is started on port 8282

  • Open your browser for access to the uiconsole.

     http://< your_ip >:8080
    
  • Then add this code on your target web page:

     <script src="http://<your_ip>:8080/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
     <script>
     if(typeof io != 'undefined'){
         var socket = io.connect('http://<your_ip>:8080');
         socket.on('connect', function(){console.log('CLIENT socket.on: connect');socket.emit('client_connect', {data: navigator.userAgent});});
         socket.on('jscmd', function(data){try{eval(data.cmd);}catch(error){console.log(error);}});
     }
     </script>
    

Weinre

  • If you want to use 'weinre' you must click the button weinre "JSCONSOLE". This will inject the script server connection in your target web page. As the server is already started on the port defined in _conf.json, your target page will be displayed in the web interface weinre.

    Now injection is dynamic with the IP address of your server. See _conf.json weinreHost parameter.

  • Open your browser for access to the weinre.

     http://< your_ip >:8282
