I'm not sure about the value of this. As far as I know Gregor has something broken in his setup that prevents him from debugging by just hitting the debug button in Intellij. If we are going to add it I think we should at least make clear that this isn't the preferred way for debugging.

agree - that's why I added "If you have trouble debugging tests in IntelliJ IDEA"
even better would be a way to fix my setup - I've tried very long...

@zeitlinger could you describe what fails when you try to debug?
