Yes, that's a pretty common operation amongst NiFi developers. In conf/bootstrap.conf there's a section called Enable Remote Debugging and a commented-out line something like:
java.arg.debug=-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005 You can remove the comment from that line and set things like the address to the desired port, whether to suspend the JVM until a debugger connects, etc. Then in IntelliJ you can create a new configuration of type Remote, point it at the port you set in the above line, and connect the debugger. It will then stop at breakpoints and you can do all the debugging stuff like add Watches, execute expressions (to change values at runtime), etc. Regards, Matt On Mon, Oct 26, 2020 at 11:52 AM Darren Govoni <dar...@ontrenet.com> wrote: > > Hi > Is it possible to run Nifi from inside IntelliJ with debugging such that I > can hit the app from my browser and trigger breakpoints? > > If anyone has done this can you please share any info? > > Thanks in advance! > Darren > > Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone > Get Outlook for Android
