Performing Free Form debugging test suite a dialog is expected, but does not appear. Anyway the debugger stops at the expected breakpoint.
Thinking back to what happened, I must describe more in detail. Starting Debugger started FreeForm Application. No dialog. After that I clicked on IDE window and I saw the dialog described in test specification. To check again the behaviour I clicked on Cancel and not on Generate. After that the dialog never appeared, but I think that the new file was generated anyway.
If I understand it correctly, this is about the dialog "A build target has to be generated for Debug Project action" from http://wiki.netbeans.org/TS_74_JPDAdbg_Functionality#Test_suite:_Free_Form_Debugging right? Moving to freeform project for evaluation.
This http://wiki.netbeans.org/TS_74_JPDAdbg_Functionality#Test_suite:_Free_Form_Debugging is working on: Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201401270001) Updates: Updates available Java: 1.7.0_45; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 24.45-b08 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_45-b18 System: Linux version 3.5.0-37-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb) When I clicked Cancel many times, nothing is generated and dialog appears again after clicking on Debug Project. When clicking on Generate, ide-targets.xml file is opened in editor. Be sure you have cleaned userdir etc. Closing as WORKSFORME.
