Description

In relation to #2229. There is no way to understand what has failed. Debug command goes through three steps:

  • pushing component in debug mode
  • running debug port-forward and capture local port from port mapping printed into standard output
  • starting nodejs debugger usin localhost:port, where port is identified on step 2

All those steps should be visible in notification with progress, so we can identify where exactly debug command failed.
