How can I make sure IntelliJ’s debugger attaches to the right process?

Hi all,

This is about the same problem as described here

How can I make sure IntelliJ's debugger attaches to the right process?

I’m trying to debug the unit tests in my main project in IntelliJ by right-clicking the file and choosing debug. My main project depends on an artifact from a second project, and that artifact is generated using a JavaExec task. When I execute the debugger, it fails to connect. I think what’s happening is that the debugger sees the task in the subproject start, attempts to attach to it, and then isn’t available to attach to the tests I actually want to debug. Everything works if I use -x to ski…

Anyone has any idea?

Regards
