Debugging a stack application

Debugging your application

1. Push your app in "debug" mode

   odo push --debug
   

   Note: The default odo debug port 5858 will be used.

2. Setup port forwarding from your cluster to your local workspace

   Using odo:

   odo debug port-forward
   

   A specific local port can be specified with the --local-port flag

   Using kubectl:

   kubectl port-forward <pod_name> 5858:5858
   

3. Connect a debugger to localhost:5858 (or whatever local port you forwarded to)

Debugging application tests

1. Add -Dmaven.failsafe.debug to test command

2. Push your app to your cluster

   odo push
   

3. Forward the Maven default debug port (5005) from your cluster to your local workspace

   kubectl port-forward <pod_name> 5005:5005
   

4. Run your tests

   odo test --show-log
   

5. Connect a debugger to localhost:5005
