IntelliJ IDEA debugger skips breakpoints when debugging Maven tests

Question

I am trying to debug Maven tests in IntelliJ IDEA. When I open IDEA\'s Maven Projects view and right-click on test goal, I get an option to debug it. C

Answer 1

One solution would be to use remote debugging:

1. configure the surefire plugin: true;

2. run the test (will wait for a remote debugger to connect)

3. create and run a remote debug configuration in IntelliJ (will hit your breakpoint); the port to connect to is 5005.
