It allows you to stop at a certain point in the test scenario so you can take a closer look at what is going on in the browser. When you are ready to move on, you just hit enter in your terminal window.
We were already saving snapshots of failed steps, but when this isn't enough; throw in a breakpoint!
/**

* Works only with Selenium2Driver.

if (4 === $event->getResult()) {
$driver = $this->getSession()->getDriver();
if (!($driver instanceof Selenium2Driver)) {
//throw new UnsupportedDriverActionException('Taking screenshots is not supported by %s, use Selenium2Driver instead.', $driver);
return;
