do you ever need to debug (not just run) a single junit test XXXmethod ?

do you ever need to debug (not just run) a single junit test XXXmethod ?

I find the ability to run individual test methods in a junit testcase
very handy, via the editor's context menu item 'run MyTestCase.textMethod'

I sorely miss the ability to run the same execution flow under the
debugger's control.
it could be implemented with another context menu item,

This is a fetaure that would save me and hopefully others) time and
grunt work, which is the reason I use IDEA in the first place.

... it's just been close as 'do not fix'


so I'm posting here to flame and complain .... ;)

about running a SINGLE junitTestcase.textXXX method under the debugger.
you currently have to :
- store a target definition
OR
- add a temp suite method

this is not necessary for a RUN, only for a DEBUG
RUN has the much much much handier context meuitem entry - which doesn't
store a target config.

I'd just need the same for debugging !!

Isn't it that you can place your cursor in YourTestCase.testMethod name and select from the context menu "Debug YourTestCase.testMethod"? Or I'm missing your point...

Try to remove underscores in the method name. If it doesn't help, I guess
you should attach this gif to your issue report.
BTW, it works for me just fine.
