Description akochnev 2009-06-10 07:30:48 UTC

Currently, if I want to debug a test, I can possibly run "grails-debug -unit FooBar" and then race to attach the debugger. 

The proposed feature would allow checking a "Debug" checkbox in the "Execute Grails Command..." dialog and would
automatically launch the command using grails-debug, then launch the debugger and attach it to the running process.

patch to implement this enhancement

Comment 2 akochnev 2009-06-10 07:35:23 UTC

Some of this functionality was hinted at in the "Run Grails Command..." dialog, the attached patch revives that and
implements it. 

I look forward to your comments and possibly getting this into netbeans.

Any chance of this minor enhancement making into the Grails support ?

Comment 6 Petr Hejl 2009-10-22 14:45:12 UTC

I plan to provide better support for debugging in next release and I will incorporate this change as well. BTW simple
JPDADebugger.attach won't work well imo. Otherwise the patch looks good. Thanks for that.

Comment 7 akochnev 2009-10-22 14:59:02 UTC

I figured that JPDADebugger.attach is not perfect, but it's the simplest thing that works. I poked around the debugger
API but couln't figure it out - can you give a hint/pointer of the proper way of doing this ?

Comment 8 Petr Hejl 2009-10-22 19:23:21 UTC

I'm working on such piece of code as it will be needed for the debugger anyway. I'll let you know.

Comment 9 Petr Hejl 2009-10-26 14:47:04 UTC

Closing this as duplicate of issue 123169. I've just attached patch to issue 123169.
akochnev, would be great if you could test it - it contains both Run/Debug action from main menu and "Run/Debug Grails
Command" as well.

Comment 10 akochnev 2009-10-26 16:18:07 UTC

I'll test this today : I was just about to rebuild my patched modules to use the "Run Grails Command.." in debug mode in
6.8 beta.
