## Debugging

### Node v7.7.0 and Later
Node legacy debugger is deprecated. Node Inspector and DevTools are recommended instead.
To enable debugging, start UIVeri5 with `debug` option (or its alias `inspect`): `uiveri5 --debug`. To stop on a certain line, add `debugger` to your test:
```javascript
myElement.getText().then(text => {
  debugger;
  expect(text).toEqual("myText");
});
```

### Older Node Releases
Use legacy debugger and set breakpoints with `browser.pause()` and `browser.debugger()`
```javascript
myElement.getText().then(function (text) {
  browser.debugger();
  expect(text).toEqual("myText");
});
```

### VSCode
You can use debugger in VSCode, as stated above in protractor debugging guide,
but because UIVeri5 executable uses child_process.fork() instead of require(), you can't use it directly on it.
You have to target `uiveri5/src/cli.js`.
```javascript
{
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "name": "debug uiveri5",
      "program": "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@ui5/uiveri5/src/cli",
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/",
      "args": [
         "conf.js"
      ]
  }
```
