Description

When using Android Emulator with weinre, JS errors log only sometimes.

After reading that weinre needs a little time to setup before it will deal with console entries I made a test app that does the following:

console.log( 'Hello now' );
setTimeout( "console.log( 'Hello 10' )", 10000 );
setTimeout( "console.log( 'Hello 20' )", 20000 );
setTimeout( "console.log( 'Hello 30' )", 30000 );
setTimeout( "console.log( 'Hello 40' )", 40000 );
setTimeout( "console.log( 'Hello 50' )", 50000 );
setTimeout( "console.log( 'Hello 60' )", 60000 );

I've ran this many times and get similar logcat entries that look like this:

06-05 23:10:19.992: D/PhoneGapLog(969): Hello now
06-05 23:10:19.992: D/PhoneGapLog(969): file:///android_asset/www/index.html: Line 39 : Hello now
06-05 23:10:20.000: I/Web Console(969): Hello now at file:///android_asset/www/index.html:39

I see the 'Hello now' entry in logcat, but I don't see it in weinre. The only entry I see in weinre is 'Hello 10'.

Does anyone know what these logcat errors mean or why only one out of my 7 test console messages are being picked up by weinre?
