debug

Overview​

Use the debug command to pause the execution of a test in the browser.

By pausing the test, you can switch to the browser, open DevTools, and inspect the web page in real-time. This can be useful for debugging the test.

Usage​

await browser.debug();

Usage Examples​

it("should demonstrate the debug command", async ({ browser }) => {
    await browser.$("#input").setValue("FOO");

    await browser.debug(); // switch to the browser and change the value of #input to "BAR"

    const value = await browser.$("#input").getValue();

    console.log(value); // outputs: "BAR"
});
