Debug not working in Lucee 7

[rayvarner]

Windows 11 (1 attempt home, 1 attempt Pro)
luceedebug-2.0.14.jar
Lucee Express 7.0.0.395
Adoptium.net

• JDK Temurin 21.0.9+10-LTS - 10/30/2025 as a zip
• also tried JDK Temurin 25.0.1+8-LTS - 10/29/2025 as a zip

VS Code

• luceedebug 2.0.12

I am able to use luceedebug in Lucee 5x & 6x. On 2 different win development machines I'm not able to get the debugger to work for Lucee 7.

Lucee 7's official release is new as of this writing. Given the breaking changes documented at https://docs.lucee.org/guides/lucee-7.html I'm curious to know if the step debugger has been tested for 7x.

Thanks!

I'm having a look

@rayvarner Interested to know if you build either the current head or Zack's commit if it works. There was some work done to get smoke tests passing for 7, so there is an existence proof that it can work; whether it works on your machine remains the open question.

Thanks for taking a look at this so quickly. I'm pleased to know that the debugger is passing for L7 in smoke tests.

I've been using the 2.0.14 build found here: https://github.com/softwareCobbler/luceedebug/releases/tag/agent/2.0.14

Since the date of the release is Aug 31, 2024 I have reused the jar that currently works with L5 & L6. I have not downloaded a 'fresh' version of 2.0.14.

I've not had time to attempt debugging in my Linux environment. Since my employment uses Win11 I find the most value of the debugger in the extensive legacy code. :)

Again thanks for putting together such an incredibly useful tool!
