Is Protractor debugging possible in WebStorm?

[Buthrakaur]

Is it possible to configure WebStorm for Protractor test debugging? I was UTFG and trying different Node.js debugger options in WebStorm, but wasn't successful. I must admin that I'm total WebStorm/Node.js noob so I may be missing something very obvious..

I don't use webstorm so this response may be useless but - it might be worth trying by running directly from the lib/cli.js node script in the Webstorm node.js run/debug configuration, so that it effectively runs:

node debug ./lib/cli.js <conf.js>

This unfortunately doesn't seem to work.

This is my config:

1. Get the node path. Type: $which node in your terminal
2. Click on Run > edit configurations (the dropdown to the left of the green play button)
3. Click on the + button to add a new Node configuration. Select Node.js
4. Under configuration enter the following:

Path to Node (node interpreter on version 7): the path from step 1
Working directory: home directory for the protractor tests. The same as the node_modules directory.
Path to Node App JS File (Javascript file on version 7): node_modules/protractor/lib/cli.js
Application parameters: protractor-conf.js

Click OK
Add a breakpoint and run debug.

Thanks a lot - I just got it working. I was using additional Node parameter debug which was causing the troubles.
