So I was debugging something that was not working, and I dug through a lot of hay and came upon a method, and the debugger would just not hit it. Just bypasses it totally. Repeated tries are not going to help. What did?
It was a gradle project, and I am using Intellij IDE. I open the gradle side bar, right clicked on the project name and hit the
“Refresh Gradle Dependencies”
action, NOT the “Reload Gradle Project” action which I tend to do all the time.
It took a while but when the dust settled, the breakpoints started getting hit.
