474 ## Debugging
475
476 Tests can be debugged interactively using browsers' built-in development tools,
477 including Observatory when you're using Dartium. Currently there's no support
478 for interactively debugging command-line VM tests, but it will be added
479 [in the future][issue 50].
480
481 [issue 50]: https://github.com/dart-lang/test/issues/50
482
483 The first step when debugging is to pass the `--pause-after-load` flag to the
484 test runner. This pauses the browser after each test suite has loaded, so that
485 you have time to open the development tools and set breakpoints. For Dartium,
486 the test runner will print the Observatory URL for you. For PhantomJS, it will
487 print the remote debugger URL. For content shell, it'll print both!
488
489 Once you've set breakpoints, either click the big arrow in the middle of the web
490 page or press Enter in your terminal to start the tests running. When you hit a
491 breakpoint, the runner will open its own debugging console in the terminal that
492 controls how tests are run. You can type "restart" there to re-run your test as
493 many times as you need to figure out what's going on.
