Description
extension adds command 'debug' that will switch the selenium to the 'Step' mode.
Needed if you want to stop execution at some point and proceed in step mode to see details of teh test failure.
Code to add to the user-extensions:
user-extensions.js
Selenium.prototype.doDebug = function( text ) {
document.getElementById('modeStep').click();
};
Example:
| clickAndWait | link=Add |
| debug | |
| verifyTextPresent | Troubles are here... |
Seelnium will stop on command 'debug' so you'll have a chance to take a look at the actual content of the page.

sometimes we want to stop the test at a certain point, so that we can evaluate the page, or change a value.
We added an onclick to the TRs, so that before/during test execution you can double click a row, and it will insert the "break" command. This allows you to set a breakpoint in any test, wherever you want.
A cool thing about this is that you can do lots of things in the system, and as long as you end up back on the page where the break point was set, you can contiune running the test from there.
This has proven to be a very helpful addition (for our QA teams, development, and even business people that want to use the test to seed the app with some fresh data, but they just want to change a few values)
