Debugging tests written with Robot Framework

Question

When isolating a root cause of a failing test written in Python or Java, I use a debugger built in my IDE (e.g., Intellij) to debug it.

Is the same possible for Robot tests?

Particularly, what's a support for debugging Robot tests in IDEA Intellij?

I wonder because I found Robot tests are a mix of both .robot and .py / .java fies.

The Eclipse plugin called RED ([GitHub]1) has support for the standard debugger.

More information can be found in the RED GitHub Help pages.

So no support for Intellij?

No, IntelliJ is not supported. The team does not have the capacity to support multiple IDE platforms. The approach they took should be compatible, but a significant development effort is still needed for the IDE specific parts.
