Here we have a link
http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.0.1/ide
about how to configure playframework to be working with different IDEs. There they say a couple of words about debugging, but it is not clear – how can I perform the debugging? If I put a break-point, let’s say in my Model’s constructor class, then how and what I should launch to initialize debugging? I use IntelliJ Idea.
For example when I use Jboss, or Tomcat, there is an option in the IDE within those servers to run them in debug mode or “normal” mode. But how to work with Play Framework in this context? Should I configure remote debugging somehow?
when you launch Play Framework (via play run) you will see that is says that the debug port is running at a certain address. This is a standard Java behavior on servers (having a debug port enabled).
Most IDEs allow you to set up a connection to that remote port so you can debug the code remotely. The specific steps will depend on the IDE you are using, but it should be as simple as that.
