I'm working on a Spring Boot application using IntelliJ IDEA. I can run the application locally with a Maven run configuration using the goal spring-boot:run, and it works as expected.
However, this configuration doesn't support debugging (breakpoints are ignored). To work around that, I created a Remote JVM Debug configuration, which does allow me to debug the application.
Some colleagues are using the IntelliJ Spring Boot run configuration provided by the paid version of IntelliJ (or available only through a paid plugin), which lets them start the application normally and in debug mode without extra setup.
Is there any free and simpler configuration that would allow running and debugging the application from IntelliJ without relying on remote debugging? I also tried using the Application configuration, but it fails with bean-related errors.
I am not launching the debug from the application class directly because I need to configurate the environment variables.
I have also tried to use the goal: spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.fork=false but still not stopping in the break points when debugging.
