I was investigating a bug that would only happen in production and wanted to attach a debugger to a particular workflow. I could have run the entire application and attached remotely, via:

java -jar -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=9998 path/to/my/jar/some.jar

In my case, I wanted to invoke a specific method and see what happens via Scala REPL.

Turns out it’s pretty easy to do, although not easy to find how to do it. I just had to trigger the Scala REPL command with the jar file passed into the -cp parameter. I also had to prepend remote debugger parameters that I got from InteliJ with -J

So the final command looked as follows:

scala -cp path/to/my/jar/some.jar -J-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=9998

I also had to forward the port via ssh to my local machine, as follows:

ssh some-remote-server.com -L 9998:127.0.0.1:9998 -N

IntelliJ config for the remote debugger is under:

+
Remote

Happy coding!
