Debugging a CorDapp
===================
.. contents::
There are several ways to debug your CorDapp.
Using a ``MockNetwork``
-----------------------
You can attach the `IntelliJ IDEA debugger <https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/debugging-code.html>`_ to a
``MockNetwork`` to debug your CorDapp:
* Define your flow tests as per :doc:`api-testing`
* In your ``MockNetwork``, ensure that ``threadPerNode`` is set to ``false``
* Set your breakpoints
* Run the flow tests using the debugger. When the tests hit a breakpoint, execution will pause
Using the node driver
---------------------
You can also attach the `IntelliJ IDEA debugger <https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/debugging-code.html>`_ to nodes
running via the node driver to debug your CorDapp.
With the nodes in-process
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. Define a network using the node driver as per :doc:`tutorial-integration-testing`
* In your ``DriverParameters``, ensure that ``startNodesInProcess`` is set to ``true``
2. Run the driver using the debugger
3. Set your breakpoints
4. Interact with your nodes. When execution hits a breakpoint, execution will pause
* The nodes' webservers always run in a separate process, and cannot be attached to by the debugger
With remote debugging
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. Define a network using the node driver as per :doc:`tutorial-integration-testing`
* In your ``DriverParameters``, ensure that ``startNodesInProcess`` is set to ``false`` and ``isDebug`` is set to
``true``
2. Run the driver. The remote debug ports for each node will be automatically generated and printed to the terminal.
For example:
.. sourcecode:: none
[INFO ] 11:39:55,471 [driver-pool-thread-0] (DriverDSLImpl.kt:814) internal.DriverDSLImpl.startOutOfProcessNode -
Starting out-of-process Node PartyA, debug port is 5008, jolokia monitoring port is not enabled {}
3. Attach the debugger to the node of interest on its debug port:
* In IntelliJ IDEA, create a new run/debug configuration of type ``Remote``
* Set the run/debug configuration's ``Port`` to the debug port
* Start the run/debug configuration in debug mode
4. Set your breakpoints
5. Interact with your node. When execution hits a breakpoint, execution will pause
* The nodes' webservers always run in a separate process, and cannot be attached to by the debugger
By enabling remote debugging on a node
