best way to debug nginx config file?

I have a bunch of rewrite rules that I have to port from apache to nginx.

It's a rather painful process because I'm not able to see if my rewrite rules and "if" conditions are working as I want them to.

Apache did have debugging for its rewrite module. Whats can I do for nginx?
