IntelliJ IDEA 12 -- viewing the call stack

52,505

Solution 1

The call stack is viewable when you click on the 'Debug' button on the bottom toolbar: enter image description here

Specifically, the call stack is as highlighted below : enter image description here

You may also be interested in an alternative threads view, enabled by clicking the 'Restore threads view' button: enter image description here

Here is a bit of official documentation around debugging that you may find useful if you are new to IntelliJ:

  1. Debug Tool Window
  2. Debug Tool Window - Frames
  3. Debug Tool Window - Threads

Solution 2

I had only the view on 'Variables', finally what helped was clicking 'Restore Layout' on the left side of Debugger window (this button: button). Somehow I must have remove 'Frames' before - no other way to restore it...

Solution 3

I've had it where the Frames and Threads debug tabs are collapsed and only the Variables tab is visible. In this case click and drag the left window edge of the Variables tab to the right.enter image description here

Solution 4

It's on the lower left in the debug window.

    I'm new to the IntelliJ IDE (usually work with Visual Studio) and I'd like to view the current call stack at a particular breakpoint. I've found information on building a call hierarchy but that's not what I'm looking for. Any information on how to view the current call stack would be appreciated.
