Environment details

• OS: Mac OSx
• Node.js version: v6.14.4
• npm version:3.10.10
• @google-cloud/functions-emulator version: 1.0.0-beta.5

Steps to reproduce

1. Deploy any function with http trigger
   functions deploy myFunction --trigger-topic mytopic --entry-point setStatus
2. Start debug mode functions inspect myFunction --pause
3. add a debug point in first line of the function Google Chrome at chrome://inspect
4. call the background function
   functions call myFunction --data='{"data":"eyJp..."}'
5. control stops at the breakpoint but after a minute or so it crashes with the following message in console.
   ExecutionId: d3a5ff97-4ea1-4416-97e7-b6ac08043bd8
   Error: { error:
   { code: 500,
   status: 'INTERNAL',
   message: 'function execution attempt timed out' } }

Is there a way I could increase the timeout because debugging can take several minutes. any workaround?

Following these steps will guarantee the quickest resolution possible.

Thanks!
