Hi all, As I am expecting to be participating here in the near future I started tracking down some problems I was having with debugging the CLI … Here’s a summary of things I noticed:
General Observations: The Readme claims to require Java 7 or above … I think it requires 8 … even if the build does sort of run with Java 7, as soon as I execute anything I am getting “Unsupported major.minor version 52.0” errors. I guess some library might be referenced that requires Java 8. Debugging in IntelliJ: Even if I am able to run things in IntelliJ, when it comes to debugging it’s almost not usable as I can’t inspect any variables. All I can see is the names and a “Collecting data …” behind them. So I consulted a Scala expert here at my company and he suggested to manually install sbt (Not use the bundled sbt-launcher contained in the IntelliJ SBT plugin) and start it on a console with: sbt -jvm-debug 5005 -mem 8123 The I connected to that via normal IntelliJ Java remote debugging connection. After that as long as I don’t expand the “this” variable if it says anything with “ROOT” in it, I am able to debug things. Chris
