Debugging cucumber steps in WebStorm

Question

I'm experimenting with Cucumber/WebdriverIO UI tests using Webstorm (NodeJs platform). At certain steps I would really love to stop it in debug mode, check the retrieved element and see what can I do with it.

But unfortunately the Debug button is disabled and I couldn't find anything specific in Webstorm documentation as well.

If I can achieve my original goal (stopping a step and experimenting with the elements) without using Webstorm's Debug mode, that's totally fine for me.

Answer 1

I'm not sure how this would work with Cucumber but WebdriverIO now has a debug command you can use

Answer 2
