Can't debug .aj file in Android Studio

[cyangibm]

The plugin doesn't allow you to set debug breakpoint in .aj classes.
If it does, how do you enable it?

This is an IDE issue, not an issue with this plugin

Thanks for your reply. I guess AS doesn't support .aj files, when you enable the AspectJ plugin in the Preference menu and try to open a .aj file, it freezes.

Oh that's strange. I have personally had luck debugging on java aspect files in the pat. If you don't have many aspects/pointcuts it may be worth it to convert to the annotation-based aspects in java rather than .aj if debugging is necessary

Interesting, not sure how you got it to work on your project. Would you mind sharing your Archinamon plugin app settings? I've migrated many .aj files from Eclipse project, so it's lots of rework.

@cyangibm Sure, this sample project is what my setup looks like (I think Android Gradle 4.0.0, Gradle 6.1.1, android-gradle-aspectj 4.2.1)

I am able to debug in Android Studio on the advices defined inside the AspectLogging.kt file. Hopefully that helps
