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. Clicking it executes this goal but the execution never stops at any breakpoints. What am I missing?

Thanks.

One solution would be to use remote debugging:

1. configure the surefire plugin: <debugForkedProcess>true</debugForkedProcess>;

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.
