API for controlling the Playwright debugger. The debugger allows pausing script execution and inspecting the page. Obtain the debugger instance via BrowserContext.debugger().

Methods​

Usage

Debugger.next();

Returns

• void#

pausedDetails​

Returns details about the currently paused call. Returns null if the debugger is not paused.

requestPause​

Configures the debugger to pause before the next action is executed.

Throws if the debugger is already paused. Use Debugger.next() or Debugger.runTo() to step while paused.

Debugger.requestPause();

Returns

• void#
