hello all,

I’m trying to debug a custom annotation processor but I’m failing to be able to stop the debugger - already tried a couple of suggestions from:
- https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/debug-annotation-processor-kapt/11369

but without any luck.

I’m currently trying to run:
./gradlew --no-daemon :app:clean :app:compileDebugKotlin -Dkotlin.daemon.jvm.options="-Xdebug,-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket\,address=5005\,server=y\,suspend=n"

and then to attach a remote configuration

This command works for me.

./gradlew :module:kaptKotlin --no-daemon -Dorg.gradle.debug=true -Dkotlin.compiler.execution.strategy="in-process" -Dkotlin.daemon.jvm.options="-Xdebug,-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket\,address=5005\,server=y\,suspend=n" --offline

I use the default “attach a remote configuration” setup

I was missing the kapt.use.worker.api=true on gradle.properties 😕. Only with it set I was able to attach the debugger. Thank you!
