+## Debugging
+
+This module uses [debug](https://github.com/debug-js/debug#readme) module to output verbose browser console messages when needed. To turn the logging on, open the browser's DevTools console and set the local storage entry:
+
+```js
+localStorage.debug = 'cypress-if'
+```
+
+If you re-run the tests, you should see the messages appear in the console
