how to debug spring application with gradle

I am working on spring app and need to step through a controller method to see how it works. I am working in eclipse and building my app with gradle bootRun command.

How to run it in debug mode?

i tried gradle bootRun --debug but it's just debug log, not debug mode

i tried gradle help --task bootRun -- this gives me info about task there i saw --debug-jvm option but when i run gradle bootRun --debug-jvm application doesn't start

Solution

  • After you run ./gradlew bootRun --debug-jvm the application is suspended until you connect your debugger to the port it is listening on (port 5005).
