Question

We use “play.bat run” for production and “play.bat run –%dev” for development(and another for QA) but when we change the launch configuration so –%dev is in the arguments, it doesn’t work and loads the production variables instead. How does one launch the debugger so it is running with our development settings?

thanks,
Dean

Answer 1

The eclipse launcher and the eclipse debug launcher, which gets generated by the

play eclipsify

command need not be modified to pass –%dev parameter.

Start play from the command line –

play run –%dev

You should the below line in the command window –

Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000

Verify the port is 8000, if it is different, then you need to modify the eclipse debug launcher to this port. By default the files generated have 8000 port
