Let’s see how the IntelliJ IDEA debugger can help us find and fix bugs… and learn some neat tricks about the debugger in the process!

These videos are so important because I see all of these extra controls for breakpoints in the UI, but when my head is hot from struggling with a bug for hours I don't take the time to explore. Thank you!

The drag and drop hack was 🤯 for me. I never thought it existed 5:05

great video :) thx - new for me was: (1) breakpoint drag and drop and (2) create exception breakpoints direct from the log.

Thanks for the video, it's awesome 👍
Is there a way to debug code only with your domain packages and skip i.e. spring wrappers?

I would like to know more about a debugging multithread applications. For example I've a method with synchronization lock and several threads are waiting at this lock. Idea lets to switch between these threads and move an execution point of the thread you will. And you may watch as some thread are stucked at lock meanwhile another one can be moving throug the code step by step.

The expression view should be like debug shell in eclipse / You need to change the expression view to be a view in the bottom in the debug view and not open a model window.

Suppose I have 3 breakpoints in my code and I want to only stop on 3 breakpoint and skip 1 and 2 without removing 1 and 2 on there respective lines So can I do that?
Is there any option to skip some breakpoints to reach to your desired breakpoint?

how come we don't have ability to use console when the breakpoint hit?
in pycharm you can use console and write code there but for JAVA it is only evaluate expression.
