How to debug a uiveri5 test? - uiveri5

Question

I am following the docs word by word, i.e. start my Basic.spec.js with uiveri5 --debug (using default local browser) and have a debugger; statement within some it() in the test code. Yet the tests runs thru, passing that test, and will not stop in any way in any debugger.
conf.js:
exports.config = {
profile: "integration",
specs: "./*spec.js",
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:2027/...'
};
Basic.spec.js:
describe('Basic', function () {
it('1 should load the app', function() {
expect(browser.getTitle()).toBe('Hurz,');
});
it('2 should open detail screen', function() {
debugger;
element(by.control({viewName: ..., id: ...})).click();
let name = element(by.control({viewName: ..., id: ...}));
expect(name.getText()).toBe("");
});
})
Console:
$ uiveri5 --debug
Starting uiveri5 with node arguments --inspect

go to chrome://inspect/#devices
click open dedicated DevTools for Node
and run uiveri5 --debug or --inspect
more reference is in the documentation here (UIveri5) and here (Node)
