Failing to run on Intellij in debug mode

[amitkg (Amit)]

Hi,

I followed the instruction, provided CONTRIBUTING.md and TESTING.asciidoc, to setup Elasticsearch on Intellij (macOS 10.15.4) . I was able to run it normal mode but I am unable to run it in debug mode.

This worked: ./gradlew run
But failed to run with following error: ./gradlew run --debug-jvm

> Task :distribution:run FAILED
Running elasticsearch in debug mode, node{:distribution:runTask-0} suspending until connected on debugPort 5005
Exec output and error:
| Output for ./bin/elasticsearch-keystore:ERROR: transport error 202: connect failed: Connection refused
| ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)
| JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [:732]

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':distribution:run'.
> Process 'command './bin/elasticsearch-keystore'' finished with non-zero exit value 2

System Config:

What am I missing? Is some kind of keystore to setup? I would appreciate your help on this.

May be @MarkVieira could help?

Your debug run configuration in IntelliJ needs two main items configured for it to work well with the :run task.

1. It needs to use "listen" mode instead of the default "attach".
2. "Auto restart" needs to be enabled.

The config should look something like this:

Importing the project should have set this up for you however.

Yes, it was setup though its failing.

[MarkVieira]

You'll need to ensure you launch the IntelliJ debug run configuration before running the :run task.

Thank you mark. I appreciate your help. This is really helped me. The trick is to start Intellij debug before :run.
