When I presented the problem to the community the first thing they told me was, “wrong IDE to begin from there 😃.” More than one person recommended IntelliJ Idea. They assisted me incredibly fast and were super cool with me. I took my sweet time trying to figure out why the app wasn’t stopping at the breakpoints until I decided to report my progress and blockers to the community. My first instinct was to set some breakpoints and then run the app just to see the values of the Java variables. It was a problem I’ve never faced before: debugging a service running remotely. The project I was working on is called “Strongbox,” which ran with Maven and Springboot. It’s the one I got used to due to its simplicity and the extensions I was already familiar with.
#INTELLIJ REMOTE DEVELOPMENT CODE#
The first IDE I used to read and write code was Visual Studio Code (VSC). Here’s what you need to know about debugging. The lesson I learned from interacting with other developers was knowledge of invaluable tools for developing, debugging and even reading code. It was an enriching experience, the open source community is very attentive. It’s a very intimidating thing to dive into a project and compete with other people around the globe with a solution. Here you’ll find a quick guide to do remote debugging using IntelliJ Idea IDE.Īs part of my training in the Nearsoft Academy I was tasked with coding solutions for an Open Source project. With remote debugging assuring your code works properly and finding flaws becomes more fluent and easier. Remote debugging is a very useful tool for web developers, both in frontend and backend.
