* This command helps you to debug your integration tests. It stops the running browser and gives
* you time to jump into it and check the state of your application (e.g. using dev tools).
* Your terminal transforms into a [REPL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read%E2%80%93eval%E2%80%93print_loop)
* interface that will allow you to try out certain commands, find elements and test actions on
* them.
*
* [](https://webdriver.io/img/repl.gif)
*
* If you run the WDIO testrunner make sure you increase the timeout property of the test framework
* you are using (e.g. Mocha or Jasmine) in order to prevent test termination due to a test timeout.
* Also avoid executing the command with multiple capabilities running at the same time.
