How to avoid timeout when debugging protractor test? -

i'm writing protractor e2e tests , use browser.pause() enter debugger. appreciate interactive mode seems helpful when developing new test. however, when spend time in debuger, test gets interrupted timeout exceeded:

     error: timeout of 240000ms exceeded 

i can fix increasing mochaopts.timeout in protractor configuration, don't changing , forth depending if i'm debugging or not.

is there better way?

if reads , hoping timing out using jasmine.

you can put within individual spec files

jasmine.default_timeout_interval = 120000; // whatever time need
