Debugging revel with IntelliJ

Question

How can we configure IntelliJ to debug revel apps?

In Run/Debug Configurations, it's not at all obvious what to enter for File, Go tool arguments, and and Program arguments

Answer 1

Create your project, for this example i will be using canonical revel new github.com/myaccount/my-app

1. Run in terminal revel run github.com/myaccount/my-app to generate tmp/main.go - this file is needed by intellij
2. Select "Edit configuration" to create Run configuration. Select Go Build
3. Select YOUR file "main.go"
4. Paste in "Program arguments" string -importPath github.com\myaccount\my-app
5. Click on "Before launch: ..." and create "Run external tool"
6. There: Program: <your gopath>/bin/revel(Windows - revel.exe) Paramerets: build github.com/myaccount/my-app, Working dir <your gopath>/bin
