How to Debug deployed Java App with Arquillian?

[vchepeli]

Hi. I was trying to run EAP server with uncommenting

# Sample JPDA settings for remote socket debugging

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8787,server=y,suspend=n"
in standalone.conf and then running server manualy with standalone.sh.

Then was running Arquillian test and application was deployed correctly but problem was If I hit breakpoints inside that classes which are inside WAR file remote debugger is not stopping and application continue to run.

Example:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It only stops inside method with @Deployment annotation

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)

public class DemoArquillianTest {

   @Deployment

   public static Archive<?> deployment() {

      return new WarBuilder().basicWar().build(); << here I can stop it, but after deployment it continue to run without stopping

}

@Test

void test1(){

   int test1= 1;

   Sytem.out.println("first test: " + test1) << if hit breakpoint here debugger doesnt stop

}

@Test
void test2(){

   int test2= 2;

   Sytem.out.println("second test: " + test2) << f hit breakpoint here debugger doesnt stop

}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is arquillian configuration file
  <container qualifier="eap">

        <configuration>

            <property name="jbossHome"><path/to/eap></property>

            <property name="managementPort">9999</property>

            <property name="serverConfig">standalone.xml</property>

        </configuration>

    </container>

Any help or advise?

If you started remote sever from the command line did you attach remote debugger in your IDE? You can always specify suspend=y so that container will wait until you attach the debugger.

I attached remote debugger to listen on port 8787 and debuging is started but when i want to debug after WAR is deployed inside WAR file it doent work. It works only before deployment and after it but not when I am running tests or call some methods in deployment lifecycle

That's quite unusual I would say. Can you share your pom and all other arquillian-related bits? Which IDE are you using?

[vchepeli]

I use IDEA for running it, because Eclipse does not yet support run tests as arquillian test in JBoss Development Tools plugin. I will write some little Arquillian example soon.

That's interesting statement. I've been always using Eclipse and running my Arquillian tests as plain JUnit tests (or Spock or TestNG). There is no need for some special "Arquillian Test" runner. It just works. I also use IDEA the same way. I will however try to investigate on your example when you share it.
