GWT Super dev mode and debugging client side code within IDEA

Answered

 Hi,

im working on a GWT project and migrated to GWT 2.8.2 where only "super dev mode" is available

I run my app using a tomcat configuration. (port 8080)

Then I started a GWT run configuration with super dev mode enabled. (-noserver -war ...)

When opening my app (localhost:8080) I can enable dev mode and I can see the codeserver compiling my project)

All looks fine.

I can now debug client side code within the browsers development tool. All files are linked using sourceMaps.

 

My question is:

Can I also use IDEA to debug my client side code somehow ?

Setting a breakpoint there does not have the desired effect.

Maybe Im missing a configuration ?

Would be very nice to use IDEA for client code debugging too.

 

 

Thanks,

Detlef

Tomcat Run/Debug configuration has the with JavaScript debugger option which can be used for the client side JS code debug. Is that what you are looking for?
