Add debug restart button to toolbar and reload dialog

Created: 22 Aug 08 23:08   Updated: 25 Aug 08 17:30
Component/s: Debugger

Severity: Low


 Description  « Hide
it would be nice if there was a button to stop and restart the debugger (next to the stop/pause/run/kill that are there already).

also, i'd like to be able to restart the debugger as an option on the dialog that pops up when a class reload fails.

Maybe with an "Always restart affected debugging sessions when dynamic class reload fails" option. That's always what I want to do.

Won't this button be a "bloat" feature? The desired functionality can be achieved by pressing stop (or kill) and then rerun. What is the "added value" of the feature?

perhaps, but i do this much more often than hitting just stop, so combining the two saves a click. also, it would be nice to be able to use the setting where it hides the debugger when you hit stop. right now if you have that on and you want to restart you have to deal with the pane going away, so you have to move your mouse all the way back up to the debug button on the main toolbar.

the other issue wouldn't cause any interface bloat at all, perhaps it should be split out into a different ticket?

Yes, please, it's better to have requests separated.

Also, just for information: we are going to combine functionality of "stop" and "kill" into one "stop" button and make it available not only for "debug" but also for "run". After some time after pressing stop IDEA will suggest to "kill" the application if it hang. This change will be done when the cross-platforms "kill" functionality is implemented.
