How can I enable remote debugging for SBT in windows?
Seems like the Windows version of SBT doesn't define this functionality.
On Linux it is defined in the $SBT_HOME/sbt/bin/sbt-launch-lib.bash
as
addDebugger () {
addJava "-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=$1"
}
You can achieve the same result by setting the SBT_OPTS
environmental variable on Windows.
Run SBT like this, to make the debugger listen on port 5005
set SBT_OPTS="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005" && sbt
set SBT_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005
sbt run
was the only working solution on Windows 7.
