Unknown argument: -launcherDir GWT

Question

I'm trying to debug in superDevMode using Tomcat instead of Jetty.

I followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9270Yqt-5I

I added the argument -launcherDir to my debug configuration but when I run the configuration I get an unknown arguement error.

Console Output

    Unknown argument: -launcherDir
Google Web Toolkit 7.1.12
CodeServer [-noprecompile] [-compileTest] [-bindAddress address] [-port port] [-workDir dir] [-allowMissingSrc] [-src dir] [module]

where 
    -noprecompile     Disables pre-compilation of modules.
    -compileTest      Just compile the modules and exit.
    -bindAddress      The ip address of the code server. Defaults to 127.0.0.1.
    -port             The port where the code server will run.
    -workDir          The root of the directory tree where the code server willwrite compiler output. If not supplied, a temporary directorywill be used.
    -allowMissingSrc  Disables the directory existence check for -src flags.
    -src              A directory containing GWT source to be prepended to the classpath for compiling.
and 
module            The GWT modules that the code server should compile. (Example: com.example.MyApp)

I noticed a similar question GWT plugin for Intellij IDEA , but I think it went over my head a bit and a fix was not given.

Does anybody have a solution?

Huh “Google Web Toolkit 7.1.12” ?! Which version are you *actually* using? — Thomas Broyer, Apr 02 '15 at 11:28

For this answer to be useful, you should explain **why** that fixed the issue for you. – Kevin Workman Oct 01 '15 at 15:02
