gradle remote debugging process

Question

I am adding the GRADLE_OPTS to system environment variables as:

-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005  

I have created the remote debugger from InteliJ IDEA for this socket. I can debug the build.gradle file, but I can't enter into the scripts for example can't see the variable values .

Does this answer your question? How to debug a Gradle build.gradle file (in a debugger, with breakpoints)? – Personal

Answer 1

Here are the steps to remotely debug gradle:

Step-by-step guide
1. Run your Gradle command
2. On the command line, execute your task normally, but add the following additional parameters:

-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs='-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=5005,suspend=y'

The "suspend=y" part will pause the execution for you to attach a debugger.

Attach a debugger:

1. Open the Gradle source code in IntelliJ
2. Go to Run -> Edit Configurations
3. Add a new Configuration by clicking the + in the upper left corner
4. Select Remote, rename it if you choose, and click OK
5. Set your breakpoints
6. Go to Run -> Debug "" (defaults to "Unnamed")

I'm adding this as an alternate answer. For me this works as well ./gradlew <command> --debug-jvm

This does the same thing as above but with fewer arguments.
