Debugging from IDEA with Spring boot starter parent 1.1.1-RELEASE broken?

[skufle]

If I check out:

git clone https://github.com/spring-guides/gs-accessing-data-rest.git

which currently is based on

<parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.1.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

Then I can not remote debug from IntelliJ IDEA, it does not stop at breakpoints.

If I change it to use:

<parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.2.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

Then remote debug works.

I can see that the latter is Java 1.6 based and the new one is 1.7 based.

Any ideas on how to get it to work again?

possible duplicate of #1095 ? which command are you running to enable remote debugging exactly?

Just a thought, why can't you start you app directly in IDEA instead of using remote debugging? (Right click, Debug on the main class)

I use the spring-boot:run goal. I can see that IDEA adds the argument

-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=127.0.0.1:33945,suspend=y,server=n

to the java command.

Had not thought about starting the main class directly, I will do that instead. Thanks for your fast response!

You can close the issue if you want but perhaps it would be a good idea to add some description on how to get it to work on:

http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.1.2.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/maven-plugin/examples/run-debug.html

if you can figure out how to.

Intellij is doing that and there's nothing we can do. Let's hope the support that goal natively in the near future.
