I have a set of test cases that I want to debug (step by step, reading values, etc.). How can I setup my sbt
build so that I can hookup an eclipse debugger?
I found a way to attach the Eclipse debugger. To the Build.scala
project settings I add the following options:
//required for the javaOptions to be passed in
fork := true
javaOptions in (Test) += "-Xdebug"
javaOptions in (Test) += "-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005"
Then in Eclipse I can create a new Debug configuration
(arrow next to the bug icon) of type Remote Java Application
. There I can select Scala debugger (Socket Attach)
and specify the port 5005
.
Problem I now have is that I cannot set any breakpoints, but that's another question and might be related to the version of Scala IDE that I use.
Problems with setting the breakpoint had (most likely) something to do with the exotic constructions in my specs2 specification. I created a small object with a method in order to be able to set a breakpoint
object BreakPoint {
def set = {}
}
