How to see the directory of a file in Intellij debugger?

Time:05-24

This may apply across languages in intellij, though my example is about Java. I have a breakpoint at the line after this one:

currentOut = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("tmp.output"));

The variables tab shows:

variables

I have navigated down charOut, out, and testOut - nowhere is a path to file tmp.output shown. In the debugger, how can I see where this file got created?

CodePudding user response:

It will be in the current directory of the Application. You can get it in the debugger by executing this inside evaluate expression box:

new java.io.File(".").getAbsolutePath()
