How to avoid timeout when debugging protractor test?

Question

I'm writing protractor e2e tests and use browser.pause() to enter debugger. I appreciate the interactive mode which seems helpful when developing a new test. However, when I spend too much time in the debuger, the test gets interrupted as timeout is exceeded:

     Error: timeout of 240000ms exceeded

I can easily fix that by increasing mochaOpts.timeout in my protractor configuration, but I don't like changing it back and forth depending if I'm debugging or not.

Is there a better way?

if anyone who reads this and was hoping it was for timing out using Jasmine.

you can put this within your individual spec files

jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 120000; // whatever time you need

I apologize I didn't realize you were using mocha – BarretV Sep 09 '16 at 17:15

I've found answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23492442/4358405

Adding this.timeout(10000000); in the test makes the trick
