I've pushed the initial debug contribution to a GitHub repo that is forked from eclipse/orion.client, and have initiated a Pull request for it: https://github.com/eclipse/orion.client/pull/8 .
Thanks Grant -- I've pushed this now but have not enabled anything by default Could you add some details in this bug describing how to use it and then mark this fixed.
I wonder if you might consider separating the communications and UI parts of this code? I am working on a chrome.extension.debugger based communications extension which could plugin to the UI part here in principle.
re: comment 2 What's released here demonstrates the basic functionality of connecting and evaluating JS, but there's certainly opportunity to investigate what you suggest. I assume you're referring to crx2app. I'll have a look at it soon (possibly with Simon) and we can follow up on orion-dev. Steps for using the currently-released work: 1. Retrieve the latest org.eclipse.orion.client content, the debug page is in its bundles/org.eclipse.orion.client.debug folder. 2. Install its contained Chrome extension. To do this (must be running Chrome): - locate the extension in the navigator: org.eclipse.orion.client.debug/chromeExtension/bin/debugChromeExtension.crx - copy its url, but don't click on it, since you don't want to edit it - navigate to the url of the resource itself by starting with the url you just copied and remove its middle "edit/edit.html#/" portion (will look like "http://orion.eclipse.org/file/...<snip>.../debugChromeExtension.crx") - click Install when prompted 3. Self-host - create a self-hosting site, add a folder mapping like /org.eclipse.orion.client/bundles/org.eclipse.orion.client.debug/web = /debug, and start it 4. In the self-hosted site go to the Plugins page and install the plugin, it will be at a url like http://self-host.orion.eclipse.org/debug/debugPlugin.html. - this creates a "Debug" global command up at the top-right corner (a Refresh may be needed) 5. Launch the debuggee (must be Chrome) with the following command-line switches: - --remote-debugging-port=<aValidPortNumber> - --user-data-dir=<theFullPathToAnArbitraryLocationToWriteProfileInfo> 6. Connect to the debuggee with the Debug page's Connect action - supply the debuggee's port number, and the debugger will show a table containing each of the debuggee's open tabs, and actions that can be performed on each The next step is to replace the current "Evaluate..." action with a console.

The remote debugging is pretty cool... > The next step is to replace the current "Evaluate..." action with a console. ... I have one question though. Is the "Evaluate" action already gone? I assume the ">" prompt is from the console, isn't it?
Yes, the console is the replacement, it went in in a subsequent contribution.
