There was a problem hiding this comment.
"Headless debugging" is a challenging task: there is no screen, no devtools. We don't even allow evaluating in the target page. What is headless debugging, just stepping? I'll approve this, but I am not sure how we are helping.

Currently, when debugging a test on Codespaces, we just throw an error. Not throwing an error is arguably better, even though it'll never be on par with debugging in a headed environment. |
