             Summary: Add a simpler way to debug server-side integration tests
                 Key: SLING-4796
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4796
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: org.apache.sling.testing.tools 1.0.10
            Reporter: Konrad Windszus


Currently you have to tweak the {{jar.executor.vm.options}} to be able to debug the server-side part of the integration tests.
Actually the java process is forked twice: 
# For the surefire-plugin which executes the client (=Maven) part which can be debugged like described in http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/debugging.html
# In the {{JarExecutor}} which starts the Sling server.

To ease debugging of the server side part of test I could think of two different options.
# Allow to prevent the 2nd forking (so the Sling server would be executed in the same Java process as the actual test). That would ease debugging as you could at the same time debug client-side and server-side code
# Come up with an easy option like {{maven.surefire.debug}} which would automatically listen on a specific port for a debugger.
