Debugging with Maven SureFire Plugin in Eclipse - junit5

Question

I am getting the following error when I debug in Eclipse.
I have debugged configuration where goal = -Dmaven.surefire.debug clean install
and remote java application configuration where host=localhost and port=5005.
This was working where it would let me debug the junit test case and stop working.

Answer 1

This usually happens when the port 5005 is already in use.
assuming that you are using windows you can use the below command to find the PID of the process listening to the port 5005, you will get the list of all the listening pids and ports and you have to check the 5005 one
netstat -aon | find /i "listening"
on linux it is easy
lsof -i:5005
once you have the PID you can kill it using below
on windows
taskkill /F /PID {PID}
on linux/mac
kill -9 {PID}
then try to debug the maven test and it should work.
