Breakpoints in Intelij Idea Not Working in Debug Mode

[touseefkhan4pk]

I am facing an issue that breakpoints in IntelliJ Idea aren't working in debug mode in Windows 11. While it was working fine few days back when I installed new windows but now suddenly breakpoints stopped working. I am able to connect IntelliJ Idea in debug port 3000 but code doesn't stop at the breakpoints. I am wondering what has gone wrong while I have another machine with Windows 10, same project working file with breakpoint. 

I am using following command to start the aem jar.

java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:3000 -jar aem-author-p4502.jar -gui

@touseefkhan4pk Have seen multiple times, unfortunately sometimes we have restart the AEM instance its connected to. Did AEM restart worked for you ? 

[touseefkhan4pk]

@Saravanan_Dharmaraj nope, restarting AEM isn't working. It is connected but breakpoints are not hitting.

try adding -Xdebug to your command and check again.

similar one which I use and works for me is below.

java -Xdebug -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8888 -jar aem-author-p4502.jar

@Hi @touseefkhan4pk , try to start AEM using start scripts under crx-quickstart/bin folder. 
Before start, please, modify `start` script:

1) Open start file

2) Find CQ_JVM_OPTS='-server -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Djava.awt.headless=true'

3) Replace it with CQ_JVM_OPTS='-server -Xmx1024m -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=30303 -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Djava.awt.headless=true'

4) Run `sh bin/start` command

Hi @touseefkhan4pk,

in case your InteliJ is successfully connecting the debug port, the issue might not be with the debug configuration but with the code you are trying to debug not running properly. Please check in the OSGi console that the bundle and service you are trying to debug are active.

Good luck,

Daniel

I have even used a different jar which works fine on another system and I am able to debug but not working on my machine with windows 11. Not sure if it is some kind of Operating System issue.
