Remote debugging not working on Intellij Idea

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Generate AMP archetype (using 1.0.2)
2. export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:server=y, transport=dt_socket,address=4000, suspend=y"
3. Open DemoComponentTest and add a breakpoint on line 63
4. mvn install -Pamp-to-war -Dmaven.surefire.debug
5. Step over line 64 What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected: Remote debugging sessions keeps on going
   Current: net.sf.acegisecurity.providers.ProviderNotFoundException: No authentication provider for net.sf.acegisecurity.providers.UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken

I had similar problem debugging Alfresco since version 2.2. This has nothing to do with Maven. IntelliJ IDEA is trying to be too smart pre-evaluating some stuff in the code, so when you step through calls to Alfresco services, sometimes it throws such exceptions.

A workaround is to not step over calls to Alfresco services and let them pass in "resume" mode, adding a breakpoint after a call. A proper solution could be to configure IntelliJ IDEA.

Mau, I think we can close this one. WDYT?

Successfully tested using

• IntelliJ Community 13.1
• Alfresco Community 4.2.e (https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-sdk-samples/tree/master/samples/webscripts/repo)
• mvnDebug and MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx2G -XX:NewSize=512M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M

Closing issue.

I still getting this issue with IDEA 13.1.4 Ultimate and Alfresco Community 5.0.a.

The workarround I found is to disable toString() object view:

Intellij IDEA > Preferences > IDE Settings > Debugger > Data Views > uncheck Enable 'toString()' object view

Just an FYI, I also hit this issue when debugging Alfresco platform using Intellij IDEA. Thanks to @marcobiscaro2112 marcobiscaro2112 for the suggested workaround.

Why is this bug closed if we can still replicate the issue?

[ahmedowian]

@andreuandon, I guess since the workaround of unchecking Enable 'toString()' object view does work, the bug was deemed not worth fixing. I can attest that this workaround works, as I also ran into this issue and tried out the workaround. Thanks to @marcobiscaro2112.
You could also just put your break point after the Alfresco service call, as @mindthegab mentioned.

the solution is still working
