Intellij debugger does not stop at breakpoints

I must be doing something wrong here. I am new to intellij. Making switch from eclipse. I have a JAX WS application that runs on weblogic. The artifact to deploy is an ear file. I have been struggling to get debugger on intellij working. I have the ultimate edition. I did create a run debug configuration but it just passes through the code and does not stop at my desired location. The debugger shows a red dot without a check or a cross.

Edit - I am running a "local" run/debug configuration.

Here is a screen shot of my run/debug configuration.

Solution

  • I figured out what my issue was and I think the problem is specific to me and the nature of my application. Actually I should call it a self induced issue. Let me explain the nature of events.

    1. I have been using eclipse to develop and have a local install of weblogic instance. My application needs coherence cache server and I have few other JVM parameters that I pass when starting the domain. Therefore I had added a line at the start of the $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh file like so

      JAVA_OPTIONS="- Dtangosol.coherence.distributed.localstorage=false -Dtangosol.coherence.wka=devmachine and blah blah blah

    2. I switched to intellij and started working on this project and then configured the weblogic plugin and run configuration etc.

    3. I noticed that intellij adds a JAVA_OPTIONS in the startup/connection tab in Run/Debug Configurations like so

    1. However the JAVA_OPTIONS that was being passed by intellij was not being used by weblogic. I believe it was overridden with what was in the setDomainEnv.sh which is why I saw the following logs.

    java version "1.6.0_65" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-466.1-11M4716) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-466.1, mixed mode) Starting WLS with line: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -client -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dweblogic.Name=AdminServer -Djava.security.policy=/Users/dparupud/omw/oracle/middleware/weblogic_10.3.6/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic.policy -Dtangosol.coherence.distributed.localstorage=false -Dtangosol.coherence.wka=devmachine blah blah blah......

    1. When I went and removed the JAVA_OPTIONS from setDomainEnv.sh and restarted the server from intellij I saw the following log

    starting weblogic with Java version: java version "1.6.0_65" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-466.1-11M4716) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-466.1, mixed mode) Starting WLS with line: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -client -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dweblogic.Name=AdminServer -Djava.security.policy=/Users/dparupud/omw/oracle/middleware/weblogic_10.3.6/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic.policy - agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=127.0.0.1:65501,suspend=y,server=n

    Now the log showed that the jdwp agent was in action. I did notice that I did not see that particular log before I asked the Question on SO but I thought maybe IntelliJ was doing something inside the covers because JAVA_OPTIONS was being passed and intellij does not allow you to mess with that ( it is readonly).

    I guess I can either pass all my jvm parameters either from intellij or add the jdwp agent info in the setDomainEnv.sh.

    Now I am able to debug.
