Location for SSL debug logging in java - ssl

I am trying to debug a java application using property - System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl"); in my main class.
I see debug logs in console when I run application using Eclipse during development. However, when I try to run same application using webstart I am not able to see any debug logs in any directory so far.
Is there a specific location where this logs are stored during execution?
I also tried passing debug option to run the jar from command line as java -Djavax.net.debug=ssl -jar xyz.jar but still cannot find logs generated.
Can anyone please help me understand to obtain SSL debug logs for java application?
Thank you.

They aren't stored anywhere. They are printed to System.out or System.err.

In some cases, from command line you can write debug output directly into a file:
java -Djavax.net.debug=all -jar xyz.jar > out.log

Start IntelliJ run-configuration from command line

I work on a Kotlin-based cloud microservice. From time to time I need to run it in the IntelliJ debugger, but we often accidentally break the "local debug flow". There is no pipeline that checks if the IntelliJ run-configuration and the somewhat complex set of cloud-simulating proxies and mock-servers are in sync with the code base.
I would like to write a script that helps me check if the local debug flow works. The script should do the following:
build the project
start up the "mock cloud"
start the service locally using an IntelliJ run-configuration
run a Postman-collection against the locally running service
I need help with step 3 (and possibly step 1): How can I start the IntelliJ run-configuration via command line? I am using IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2 and MacOS 12.3.1.
There is no built-in way to start a Run Configuration from the command line. Instead, you should execute java/kotlin binary with classpath etc.
For example, for "Application" configuration it is needed to run the command like that:

Unable to use read('classpath:') when running tests with standalone karate.jar

I am attempting to execute my tests using the karate stand-alone jar. Throughout my project, I use the read('classpath:') when locating files.
However, when I attempt to execute my tests from the CLI, I receive the following error:
src.test.java.Users.getUser: -unknown-:6 - javascript evaluation failed: read('classpath:commonUtils.feature'), java.io.FileNotFoundException: commonUtils.feature (The system cannot find the file specified)
Command: java -jar -Dkarate.config.dir="src/test/java" karate.jar -e DEV -t #tests src/test
It seems that I will have to declare the classpath on execution, would you be able to provide some insight on how to do this please? I'm not sure whether my issue is linked to [karate][standalone] Error : could not find or read file
Can you try the ZIP release and if you open the karate batch file you will see this:
java -cp karate.jar:. com.intuit.karate.Main $*
So the trick to setting a custom classpath is to use the com.intuit.karate.Main entry point and in the above example the current dir is also added to the classpath.
It would be great if you try the current RC version (0.9.5.RC3) to ensure we have everything working as expected.
For more information, see this part of the docs: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/develop/karate-netty#custom-classpath

How to run Apache Tomcat 8 in debug mode?

I am trying to run Apache Tomcat 8.0.21 in debug mode.
When I give the command
sh catalina.sh jpda start
it gives this error.
error message
ERROR: Cannot load this JVM TI agent twice, check your java command
line for duplicate jdwp options. Error occurred during initialization
of VM agent library failed to init: jdwp
Can anyone help ?
Either
unset CATALINA_OPTS
unset JPDA_ADDRESS
unset JPDA_OPTS
unset JPDA_TRANSPORT
catalina.sh jpda start
Or
# in .bashrc, .profile etc.
export CATALINA_OPTS="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/urandom -Denv=dev -Xms1024M -Xmx2048M -XX:PermSize=256M -XX:MaxPermSize=768m"
# At your shell prompt
./startup.sh
Explanation
As Arnab said in the comments, if your shell configuration includes environment variables mentioning jdpw (such as CATALINA_OPTS, JDPA_ADDRESS, JPDA_OPTS), just launch using ./startup.sh as if you were not trying to do remote debugging and the script will pick up the jdpw option from your environment variables.
The launch option syntax catalina.sh jpda start should only be used if you don't have any environment variables that already specified a remote debug port. It's meant to be convenient but if you've previously configured your shell to support java remote debugging you're probably mixing the two alternative approaches.
You can just add env variable and run the tomcat as usual
Debug port is 8000 in this case
export CATALINA_OPTS="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n"
Then run the tomcat
sh ./catalina.sh start
This happened to me with Eclipse when I tried to add the debugging parameters (-Xdebug -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=y) so I could suspend Tomcat on start. Unfortunately I then launched my Tomcat (within Eclipse) using the Debug button.
Why this is a problem
When you are launching Tomcat in Debug mode Eclipse itself inserts the debug parameters. When you have your own debug parameters in the launch configuration you are indeed passing them twice.
So if you need to launch Tomcat from within Eclipse and suspend it on start (so you can connect with debugger) you need to:
- add the debugging parameters to the "Arguments -> VM arguments" box of your launch config,
- and then Run this config, not Debug.
This way only the debugging parameters from your launch config are added.
There is alternative approach, recommended in 'catalina.sh':
"Do not set the variables in this script. Instead put them into a script
setenv.sh in CATALINA_BASE/bin to keep your customizations separate."
For Windows, the file name with environment variables will be 'setenv.bat'.
Thank you mr Dimitar II
Verified this works perfectly and is consumed automatically when running startup.bat
file: setenv.bat
#echo off
rem The proper way to set environment up for running Catalina
set "CATALINA_OPTS=-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n"

Jenkins stops at Launching Internet Explorer

we are using Jenkins as CI in our project. We were running the CI from the command line using the following command
java -jar C:\\jenkins\\jenkins.war --httpPort=8085 --ajp13Port=8009
As the system needs to restart frequently, we change CI to start as a windows service.
Now we are facing the issues for Selenium test cases. Selenium test cases are not running after we make Jenkins as service. We are getting the following log and no more progress from that point
18:36:30,718 INFO [org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumDriverResourceHandler] Command request: getNewBrowserSession[*iexploreproxy, http://192.168.132.105:8080/, ] on session null

Per hudson wiki, you should be running Hudson (or jenkins) as tasks rather than service for GUI testing. Check here. Look at the section GUI Testing in Windows
Following changes will resolve the problem
Update the selenium version.
Use *iexploreproxy or *piiexplore for IE instead of *iehta/*iexplore

Why is selenium hanging on INFO - Checking Resource aliases, and how do I even debug this?

I'm trying to follow the tutorial here to setup a headless selenium test-run with jenkins. I'm running CentOS 5.6, and I've followed the instructions. Now, when I run this:
export DISPLAY=":99" && java -jar /var/lib/selenium/selenium-server.jar -browserSessionReuse -htmlSuite *firefox http://www.google.com ./test/selenium/html/TestSuite.html ./target/selenium/html/TestSuiteResults.html
Selenium hangs on INFO - Checking Resource Aliases. I can run the TestSuite.html file manually, and the path is correct.
How can I even begin to try and figure out what's going on? Is there a way I could connect to the display to see what's happening? I am behind a corporate proxy, but with or without -Dhttp.proxyHost arguments, I get the same hung result.
Well, after pointing at an internal server, I get right on past the INFO - Checking Resource Aliases step, so clearly the proxy was the issue.
By trying to hit a site that required the proxy, I was doing too much at once. Confounding variables confounded me.
Selenium is not hanging on INFO - Checking Resource Aliases. Its waiting for a command to execute. You need to trigger your tests using ANT or some other build tool in Jenkins. That should get you going
