Can't get remote debugger to connect

[mvanveen82]

Hi,

I have a springboot java backend to which I'm trying to connect with the debugger. When starting the debugger the debugger controls appear at the top of the screen but only the stop en retry buttons are active. And the nightrider style loader under de debug configuration keeps flashing. So it seems it tries to connect but can't. However I get no error. Also the console of the springboot app show nothing. Only when stopping the debugger it reprints "Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 5005"

setting in pom.xml for debugging

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.parent.version}</version>
        <dependencies>
             <dependency>
                 <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                 <artifactId>springloaded</artifactId>
                  <version>1.2.6.RELEASE</version>
             </dependency>
        </dependencies>
	<configuration>
           <jvmArguments>
	     -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005
	   </jvmArguments>
	</configuration>
</plugin>

task (tasks.json) with which I launch the springboot app:

{
	"version": "0.1.0",
	"command": "mvn",
	"isShellCommand": true,
	"showOutput": "silent",
	"args": [
	],
	"tasks": [
		{
			"taskName": "Spring Boot Run",
			"suppressTaskName": true,
			"args": [
				"spring-boot:run"
			],
			"showOutput": "always"
		}
	]
}

Lauch.json:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Java remote debugging",
            "type": "java",
            "request": "attach",
            "remoteHost": "localhost",
            "remotePort": 5005,
            "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
            "jdkPath": "/usr/local/var/jenv/shims",
            "startupClass": "${workspaceRoot}/target/classes/nl/bereslim/BsmBackendApplication",
            "options": [
                "-classpath",
                "${workspaceRoot}"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

I think you need to change your "startupClass" and add "sourcepath". You can try to hack your launch configuration since it extension still lacks of some documentation.

Hmm, seems to be same problem as #56 I've seen the same effect while trying to attach to a multithreaded local process.
