In build.sbt add the following lines:

Keys.fork in Test := false
parallelExecution in Test := false
  • Start the play console in debug mode $ play debug.
  • Create a RemoteDebug run configuration in IntelliJ. This is only a debugger, not a compiler.
  • Run this configuration listening on port 9999.
  • Add a breakpoint to your test.
  • In the console run your test > test-only core.services.helpers.ServiceHelperTest.
  • Watch IntelliJ break on breakpoint.
  • Profit $$$.
