How to debug vertx from IntelliJ

[Dmitry Meytin]

Hi,

Here there is very useful explanation how to debug vertx from IntelliJ.

Unfortunately this is not working in the current  1.3 final version.

So, i did the following:

1) Used org.vertx.java.deploy.impl.cli.Starter instead of VertxMgr

2) Added langs.preoperties with default=org.vertx.java.deploy.impl.java.JavaVerticleFactory

3) And now I'm getting java.lang.IllegalStateException: Do not add application classes to the vert.x classpath

Please help,

Dmitry

I just added

export VERTX_OPTS='-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000'

environment variable, now when I start up vertx from the command line it is listening to port 8000. Then I just have a remote debug run configuration, change the port to 8000 and click the Run Debug button to run, and it connects.

Real simple

Indeed simple and works perfectly.

Thank you very much!

i write type in "run [verticle] ...." in the Program arguments and point Working directory to my project's compile output path. 

this way i can debug locally.

Can you post fully what you type into a run configuration to run it within IntelliJ? 

I always run mine outside in a terminal window.

i just type the comand line that runs vertx.
