Is it possible to debug the views (groovy templates) in Play framework?

Is it possible to debug the views (groovy templates) in Play framework?

Using Eclipse or Intellij IDEA, is there a way to set a breakpoint and debug the groovy templates?

I'm not sure about Eclipse, but I know IntelliJ is supposed to be able to debug .gsp pages.. Can it be used to debug the ".html" pages of Play framework containg groovy code?

Thanks in advance!

Nobody to help a newbie?

I'm try to setup Play framework so I'm comfortable working with it, and debuging the templates is the only missing point for now...

As far as I know it's not possible. It's one advantage of JAPID that
you there can debug the java-code. But I didn't try it.

Yes you can debug the generated Japid Java code as you would do with plain Java code. But if the templates compile they will just work most of the times.

Thanks for the help, I'll try Japid for sure!

I noticed an interesting behaviour in eclipse today.

I created a class CurrencyExtensions which extends JavaExtensions.

This class is used in my templates to format currencies and other things.

Now when I debug Play! and step through the extension methods, upon exiting this method, eclipse switches to the Groovy template and allows you to step though the actual template and check all the variables.

I thought this might be useful to share if that's not a well know fact.

I asked the very same question long time ago, and the answer was that
it wasn't possible

remember that views should be kept as simple as possible

more over, if you have something more complex or performance critic,
you could develop it as a fastTag, with java, and there you'll be able
to debug everything without a problem

see this article http://playframework.wordpress.com/2010/11/26/fasttags-in-play/

and this SO question

I know it is not supposed to be possible but it actually is!

 Hence me posting this which I thought was an 'interesting' behaviour.
