Hi all,

In Eclipse, we can open "Display View" to enter some code and execute this code while debugging.
In IntelliJ, how can we do it? I already tried "Evaluating Expressions" but it seems that I can only see values of variables and I cannot enter my customized code (even in "code fragment evaluation" mode).

Thank you very much.

I had the IDE open in front of me, so I just tried it in debug mode. Clicked "Evaluate expressions" and then clicked the "Code Fragment mode" button and in the top area editor entered:



and then hit the "Evaluate" button. The output, 7, was shown in the "Result" text area. See screenshot for details.

Yes, I know what you mean. However, it seems that we cannot do something more complex as we can do with Eclipse.
For example, I have a Set<String_FullName> named infoSet that have 100000 elements. In "Display View" of eclipse, at one break point I can enter some code to verify whether this set contains the name "Robert" or not. I can insert my code as:



In the "Evaluate expressions" I don't see I can do this.
