run/debug tests locally

[Greg Huber <gr...@gmail.com>]

Glen,

Any ideas on how to run/debug the local unit tests in eclipse?  This seems
quite difficult. The tests seem now are purely focused on the finial build,
and really not caring about its surrounding ecosystem :(

Cheers Greg.

Sure, I blogged it here for Eclipse and IntelliJ: 
http://www.jroller.com/gmazza/entry/jpa_and_junit

Enter from a command-line window (remove #methodName if you want to 
debug all tests, but normally you want 1-by-1):
roller/app$ mvn test -Dtest=TestClassName#methodName -Dmaven.surefire.debug

You have to be in the "app" folder for -Dtest to work.  The terminal 
window will report that it's waiting for an IDE to receive the debugging 
messages.

Then go back to your IDE and activate code debugging and tracing as you 
would do any code tracing/debugging.

Glen
