About a month ago I tweeted out “How do you debug in Groovy and Grails?”  Someone had asked me privately, and I have to say I can’t recall who it was.   Can’t find the tweet or email, whatever it was.  Whoever asked – I apologize for not having got back to you. 

Here were the answers I got back on from Twitter. 

• 
  keithcochran: @groovymag I use IntelliJ and start the server in debug mode. It works well but some classes (like services) I have to use log.debug()
• 
  dani_latorre: @groovymag : grails-debug run-app + eclipse breakpoints
• 
  colinharrington: @groovymag intellij is the only one that I have been able to debug in. Eclipse worked up until you had plugins or joint compilation
• 
  AndreasArledal: @groovymag So far just using println has worked well. I’m considering moving from textmate to Idea, if I do I’ll probably use grails-debug.
• 
  graemerocher: @groovymag println for simple stuff. Intellij + grails-debug run-app for anything more complex
• 
  burtbeckwith: @groovymag I usually run with “grails-debug run-app” and attach the Eclipse debugger as needed
