I am trying to setup Elastic search on Windows 11 machine. Following instructions as outlined in: [Setup, Run & Debug Elasticsearch Source Code in IntelliJ IDEA | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-debug-elasticsearch-source-code-in-intellij-idea) & CONTRIBUTING.md. After importing the project into I build the project with Build gradle in IntelliJ. After I tried to run using the command **./gradlew run --debug-jvm** the process itself took more than 3hrs and threw an exception after that. Below are the details of the exception. I tried to search for answers but no luck. Really appreciate if I can get some guidance on this. `````auto shree@Sreevardhana MINGW64 ~/repositories/elasticsearch/elasticsearch (main) $ ./gradlew run --debug-jvm > Configure project :modules:reindex Disabling reindex-from-old tests because we can't get the pid file on windows > Configure project :x-pack:qa:repository-old-versions Disabling repository-old-versions tests because we can't get the pid file on windows ======================================= Elasticsearch Build Hamster says Hello!

It would be helpful to know what Elasticsearch logged. If you're running this from source, it should be in your `elasticsearch` directory under `build/testclusters/runTask-0/logs/es.out`. That may provide some more helpful context about what was happening before gradle crashed. ---

Kathleen Madam, Thank you so much for your response. Please let me know if you need anything else. Setup instructions ([Setup, Run & Debug Elasticsearch Source Code in IntelliJ IDEA | Elastic Blog](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-debug-elasticsearch-source-code-in-intellij-idea)) do not seem to be applicable in 2024. I would really appreciate if you have a document which is more current. Below are the errors I am seeing in the es.out. The error file(hs\_err\_pid%p.log) mentioned is not there in the specified folder. Thanks Sree java.lang.RuntimeException: starting java failed with [2] output: [Global flags] ccstr ErrorFile = C:\Users\shree\repositories\elasticsearch\elasticsearch\build\testclusters\runTask-0\logs\hs\_err\_pid%p.log {product} {command line} error: WARNING: Using incubator modules: jdk.incubator.vector 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 [s\open\src\jdk.jdwp.agent\share\native\libjdwp\debugInit.c:700] at org.elasticsearch.server.cli.JvmOption.flagsFinal(JvmOption.java:120) at org.elasticsearch.server.cli.JvmOption.findFinalOptions(JvmOption.java:87) at org.elasticsearch.server.cli.MachineDependentHeap.determineHeapSettings(MachineDependentHeap.java:55) at org.elasticsearch.server.cli.JvmOptionsParser.jvmOptions(JvmOptionsParser.java:145) at org.elasticsearch.server.cli.JvmOptionsParser.determineJvmOptions(JvmOptionsParser.java:97) at org.elasticsearch.server.cli.ServerCli.startServer(ServerCli.java:254) at org.elasticsearch.server.cli.ServerCli.execute(ServerCli.java:101) at org.elasticsearch.common.cli.EnvironmentAwareCommand.execute(EnvironmentAwareCommand.java:54) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:94) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.main(Command.java:51) at org.elasticsearch.launcher.CliToolLauncher.main(CliToolLauncher.java:64) ---

Kathleen Madam, Issue with starting elasticsearch in Debug has been resolved. I found the solution through a different post in elasticsearch posts. But still request to kindly help with the following: a) Seeing "\<============-\> 99% EXECUTING [23m 38s]" in the startup logs. Does that application has started successfully. b)When trying to Attach process getting timeout error as shown in the below logs. Am I missing any additional step.

Correct, the blog you linked has a notification at the top of the post that indicates this is out of date for versions starting with 7.5. I would suggest looking at our [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#importing-the-project-into-intellij-idea) page for current IntelliJ setup instructions. Try following the setup and debug instructions from the updated documentation, that may solve your issue. ---

Went through the CONTRIBUTING.md but unfortunately it doesn't have any additional instructions on how to run Elastic search in Debug in IntelliJ. After following some other post I was able to get Elastic search in Debug mode but facing the below issue while trying to "Attach process". Am I missing any additional steps.

OK, well in case something funny is going on with your settings, here is my Debug configuration in IntelliJ. You should have this when you import the project: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/1/4107dea311e4dade4903c9fb72642516d85abbab.png) If you launch Gradle with `--debug-jvm` and start that Debug configuration, it should attach automatically. ---

Thanks for the screenshot that helped. Now I was able to start elasticsearch in Intellij in debug mode successfully.Wanted to test if the elasticsearch is running or not by executing localhost:4200 in CURL. Getting missing authentication credentials for the REST request. Below are the error details.How do I test the running instance of elasticsearch from windows machine locally? Is it even possible. Thank you, {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"security\_exception","reason":"unable to authenticate user [elastic] for REST request [/]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":["Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8"","ApiKey"]}}],"type":"security\_exception","reason":"unable to authenticate user [elastic] for REST request [/]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":["Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8"","ApiKey"]}},"status":401} ---
