Why? I want fix some testng-bugs ;)
:-)
Pleas can anyone tell me : how can i debug a running surefire-plugin (e.g. in Eclipse)
You can setup a "Remote Java Application" launch configuration via the menu command "Run" > "Open Debug Dialog...". The "Project" could be one of the Surefire modules, the "Connection Type" settings should match the debug settings used to invoke Maven. Maven 2.0.8 comes with shell scripts named "mvnDebug" that allow you to easily launch Maven for a debug session (watch out for "-Xrunjdwp" in the start script to get a glimpse of the employed JVM args to setup the connection). Additionally, you may want to add "Source Lookup Path" entries to the Eclipse launch configuration such that you get a source code view when Eclipse breaks. Once the Eclipse launch configuration is properly setup, you can get a feel of Maven's heart beat: Just run mvnDebug test to start Maven for debugging of the test phase. The console output should print something Preparing to Execute Maven in Debug Mode Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8000 indicating that Maven is waiting for the debugger to attach, i.e. Maven's JVM has been paused right now. Time to switch to Eclipse, set your breakpoints (e.g. in the execute() method of the Surefire plugin) and run the previously configured "Remote Java Application" launch configuration. The Eclipse "Debug" window should now show the Maven JVM and come to a halt at your breakpoint some seconds later. If you enabled forking for the tests, you will need to setup another "Java Remote Application" launch configuration to debug the SurefireBooter. Additionally, add <debugForkedProcess>true</debugForkedProcess> to your Surefire configuration [0]. The default port for the Surefire JVM is 5005 so be sure to setup the Eclipse launch configuration properly. Once that's setup, debug Maven as above described and when it comes to forking the Surefire JVM, switch back to Eclipse and start the second launch configuration to get both processes ready for a nice debug session.
