[FIXED] IntelliJ Debugger catching wrong file with same name

Issue

I have two files with same name in two separate packages package1 and package2 in same maven project. I added a debug point at line i in the file that is present in package1. But while debugging, the IntelliJ IDEA debugger stops at line i of the file present in package2. This has been occurring with a few of my fellow mates as well. Is there any such bug reported with IntelliJ ? Any fix or workaround ?

Solution

You can turn on Show alternative source switcher flag under Settings >> Build, Execution, Deployment >> Debugger.

Check show alternative source switcher check box, and IntelliJ IDEA will allow you to change required file.

Now, when you are debugging, IntelliJ IDEA should provide you other options to chose among source files.
