I'm writing a web app that uses JAX-RS (Apache CXF) and JPA (Apache OpenJPA) and is deployed using TomEE+. I've started using Arquillian via the arquillian-tomee-embedded maven dependency to unit test my REST services.
When I use IntelliJ to launch the test phase of Maven's build lifecycle everything works great. It runs OpenJPA's enhancer on my JPA Entities, kicks off the unit tests, and I'm able to successfully call my web services and they're able to successfully access the database.
Unfortunately, if I launch the test phase in debug mode everything still works but none of my breakpoints hit. What must I do to correct this problem?
I've found a tedious workaround. I can right click each unit test and run in debug mode and the debugger will hit breakpoints...but I have to manually run the OpenJPA enhancer beforehand in order for the JPA code to work.
When you "launch the test phase in debug mode ", it means that Maven runs in debug mode, not that it debugs your app. You cannot debug your app through maven. Maven runs the tests using surefire-plugin, and you cannot use breakpoints and debug.
