Description

I want to be able to fully emulate phonegap in the browser environment so I can easily verify them with selenium.
The issue is, I cannot figure out a way to properly trigger the initialization (a.k.a channel.onDeviceReady).
So I'm loading the cordova-js and a mocking library (phonegap-desktop) into the webbrowser, then I call this:

try

{ cordova.require('cordova/channel').onNativeReady.fire(); }

catch(e)

{ window._nativeReady = true; }

but then rather than initialize, Cordova (1.7.0) stops at this line:

if (!channel.onCordovaInfoReady.fired)

{ utils.alert("ERROR: Attempting to call cordova.exec()" + " before 'deviceready'. Ignoring."); return; }

which then show an alert dialog and quit.

Please advice
