Feature Suggestion: Improve Debugging

[bigtimebuddy]

Hello, I've been trying to transition my project away from jest-electron because of incompatibility with the latest Jest and because of old Electron version supported.

This project has worked very well except for debugging.

Using the steps getCurrentWindow().show(); simply opens a blank window. I'm not able to use debugger statements and I don't see any Jest output on the screen.

jest-electron uses an environment variable, e.g., DEBUG_MODE=1 jest which will show the electron window and allow for breakpoints, output Jest to the DOM, etc. I like the environment variable because it makes it easy to invoke and turn on or off debugging without having to change the source code of any tests.

I agree. My workflow would really benefit from being able to debug with DevTools, console, etc.
