This page should help you to debug your tests inside IDE.
Step by step guide
You need two instances of IDE running at the same time. Actions in
first
IDE will be marked by
green
color, actions in second IDE by blue color.
-
start a first IDE which will be used as a
debugger
-
mount jemmy (jar or sources)
-
mount jellytools (jar or sources)
-
mount directory with your test case
-
start a second IDE in debugging mode using
following
command line parameters
runide.sh -userdir debugUserdir -J-Xdebug -J-Xnoagent
-J-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8765
Note: You can use the same userdir as for the first IDE. It will save
you
mounting all resources but it can clutter your userdir.
-
mount jemmy (jar or sources)
-
mount jelly (jar or sources)
-
mount directory with your test case
-
connect from first IDE to the second
-
from main menu choose: Debug -> Attach
-
fill in Attach to VM dialog
-
Debugger Type: (JPDA)
-
Transport: dt_socket
-
Host: <your_host_name>
-
Port: 8765
-
wait for Debugger Window opened and message
"Connection
established" appeared in the Output Window
-
add breakpoint(s) to the test case source code
-
run the test in the second (debugged) IDE (be
sure
to set Internal Executor for it)
-
the test should stop at the breakpoint and
you should
be able normally debug code in first IDE and see actions in the second
IDE
If you find a problem, please look at detailed guide how
to debug NetBeans IDE with the NetBeans debugger.
