unable to set breakpoint in grails 2.3.8 with intellij 13.1.2

I am trying to set breakpoints in grails project(grails version:2.3.8, Intellij version:13.1.2), but all the breakpoint are ignored,but with the same environment,when the project's version is 2.1.0, all is OK. Please let me know if anyone knows how to solve it.

Solution

  • I found following instructions on other site.

    In IntelliJ, go to "Run / Edit Configurations", click + then "Remote" and name it whatever you want (example "Grails Remote") then press ok.

    Then from the command line do:

    grails run-app --debug-fork

    Attach your debugger by running your "Grails Remote" config. Done.

    Another suggestion would be trying this in in grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy

    grails.project.fork = [
    test: false,
    run: false
]

    Refer Debugging App in Forked Mode blog and grails docs for details
