When I run a JUnit test in IDEA, an empty file appears in project directory. The file is named according to the following pattern: .attach_pidNNNNN, for example .attach_pid6710.
If a run a usual Java application (using main() method), no such files appear.
This has started recently, probably after the upgrade to version 2018.3.
Is this ok? It is a bit irritating to remove these files manually all the time.
PS. What happened to the test green line? :)
Roman, please follow already created issue at YouTrack for this topic: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-202129
Please clarify what's wrong with the test green line (if possible attach the screenshot)?

Recently I started to find interest in Processing and decided to download the offical Processing 3 IDE from https://processing.org/download/?processing. But half of the IDE is in cyrillic symbols.
Screenshot of the IDE
I already tried to change the configuration language etc. Also I downloaded the IDE to my workplace notebook and on the notebook the IDE was complete in normal english.
Now I dont know how to fix this problem, because there are no informations about a problem like this with the Processing 3 IDE.
A few things to try - you may have already.
I know you said you tried changing the config language, but I'm not sure if you changed the "language.txt" file in the directory "C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\Processing". Ensure it only contains one line - "en".
Fresh install of Processing (delete the folder you extracted to and the Processing folder in the directory mentioned above, and the sketchbook folder, usually in your documents).
UPDATE:
This is a solution which has worked for others experiencing this exact issue:
Download Processing 3.1.1 - https://github.com/processing/processing/releases/tag/processing-0250-3.1.1
Make sure Processing is not already running
Rename the java folder in the processing-3.2.3 directory to something else, eg. java_broken
Copy the java folder from 3.1.1 to the 3.2.3 directory
Try running the 3.2.3 version of processing.exe
I have many different versions of my app. Each one is a separate IntelliJ project. Every time I open a new one, the list of configurations starts blank:
The annoying thing about this is I deploy to 1 VM and I have to copy and paste the debug configurations each time I want to test a different version. IntelliJ makes this dialog modal per IntelliJ Instance, so I can't copy and paste the fields between Project Instances.
I end up taking a screenshot of one configuration and copying the fields by hand into the other project. It's a pretty primitive solution. Is there a more convenient way to get a run configuration from one project to another?
I'm using IntelliJ 13 on Windows 7.
Can I share settings for IntelliJ Idea across different projects? may have the answer to this, but the question is different. It's about window layout. Therefore I don't consider it a duplicate.
The best way to do this is to click the "share" checkmark next to Name field when you edit/create the configuration. You can get to this Dialog with Run > Edit Configurations.
The share check-mark pulls the setting out of your workspace.xml and instead puts it in the directory .idea\runConfigurations. This is designed so you can share the setting with others.
You could copy this file and put it in the same location in all your idea projects.
However, in the future, you might want to consider using source control branches for app versions rather than separate projects. IntelliJ handles these very well.
UPDATE (June 2021):
IntelliJ now puts this in the .run folder as its own file, no longer in .idea/runConfigurations.
Run configurations are stored in .idea/workspace.xml by default. First alternative is to share this file but it is not feasible because you also share a lot of unnecessary configurations.
As already said, the first step is to check "share" option to separate run configurations from workspace.xml.
After that, I recommend adding runConfigurations to source control. But the main problem is, probably you have already marked .idea folder as ignored.
You can unignore the folder by configuring your source control system. For example, if you are using git, you can change .gitignore file as follows:
.idea/*
!/.idea/runConfigurations
don't forget adding * after .idea/
As the last step, add your run configurations to source control and enjoy your shared configurations!
goto
Run > Edit Configuration > create or select existing configuration you want to use > click save and persist it on file system > click on share check mark
now copy this file from
PROJECT_ROOT_DIRECTORY/.idea/runConfigurations/ConfigurationName.xml
to your NEW_PROJECT_ROOT_DIRECTORY/.idea/runConfigurations at the same place and it is available now to your run configuration
You should copy the folder
~/your-old-project/.idea/runConfigurations
to
~/your-new-project/.idea/
That's the folder that contains the run configurations.
An update for this question with the new IntelliJ updates:
Now you can "Store as project file" which will create a folder named ".run" and export your setting to that folder. In the example below, I did it for all my test settings. This removes the requirement of editing .gitignore since files are now not outside of ./idea
This is not exactly an answer to your question but it answers a question similar to your question and one that I had, and I'm assuming others might as well.
That is, How to save unit and instrumentation test run configurations? I usually right-click on the test directory which brings up a menu with the option to Run whatever is in that directory. AndroidStudio then creates a run configuration on the fly and in the Run Configuration drop-down menu a new option will appear, "Save new configuration?" or something similar.
Clicking that option brings up the Run Configuration menu and at that point I check the Share box as many others have already mentioned. This then will prompt the version control system to ask me if I want to add this new run configuration file. If you haven't registered your version control system you can find the new files under .idea/runConfigurations.
Using the latest Sencha Cmd tool v4.0.2, how do I build an app for production mode into a specific folder not into its default build folder within the app folder.
I am trying to do this from the command line but not succeeding at all.
Tried this according to their help on command line but had no success with it for several weeks now:
Sencha Cmd broken: Why does 'app build' ignore any command line parameters?
No-one seems to know what the issue is. Am I the only person in the world who is actually encountering an issue with this!? Any help appreciated from anyone with some knowledge of the Sencha products greatly appreciated.
Found the answer to this as the last post in the thread:
http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?247180-Sencha-Cmd-v3.0.0.190-does-not-use-app.json-buildpath-settings/page2
I added the following to the sencha.cfg within the .sencha\workspace folder.
workspace.build.dir=C:/builds/TolMobile
Not sure why packager.json contains an output path with the following:
"outputPath":"../build/",
It doesn't seem to even be used. If its redundant why don't they just remove it? In addition I still haven't got their command line arguments to work either. Strange.
change "outputPath" in packager.json file.
/**
* #cfg outputPath
* #required
* This is where the built application file with be saved. Make sure that output path is not in your input path, you may get into endless recursive copying
*/
"outputPath":"../build/",
then build with no cmd parameters .. >sencha app build production
To built the builds folder relative to your project.
Add to the .sencha/app/sencha.cfg
workspace.build.dir=builds/
Suppose you create a new Mac OS Command Line Application using Xcode, which prints something. How do you actually find and run it using your command line or Finder?
Application was "built", but project directory structure does not seem to contain an executable file. For what matter in what format will this file be?
Please advise
This should help out:
Choose to build your project for archiving (Product->Build
For->Archiving).
The executable will be created and placed in the project build
folder. This will typically be something like
/Users//Library/Developer/XCode/DerivedData//Build/Products/Release.
If you wish, copy the executable to a more convenient location.
To run it, open up a shell window, browse to the executable
directory, and type in your command name.
EDIT
I see you mentioned iOS in your question and tagged it as such. This answer is NOT relevant to iOS, infact I see no option to build a command line application for that system and it doesn't really make much sense to have one.
Well my question is pretty simple, how do I start two instances of IntelliJ (community edition).
When I have one instance started and I try to start another one, all that happens is that my started instance gets focus.
I'm developing Android applications using IntelliJ.
Any thoughts?
Press Ctrl+Alt+SChoose Appearance & Behavior, then System Settings, check radio button: Open project in new window.
You need to configure each instance to use its own folders for config/plugins/system locations by editing idea.properties file on Windows/Linux and Info.plist on Mac. You can find the details in FAQ.
Note that normally it's not necessary since you can open multiple projects in different IDEA frames within the same instance using File | Open or Open Recent.
CrazyCoder has roughly the right idea. However, setting the config file alone was not sufficient for me to run multiple instances. Here are my steps to get this going (in GNU/Linux, I am sure you can figure out equivalent in other systems):
Create a folder/directory per instance you want to run.
mkdir -p ~/idea/instance-0
Go to the installation directory (e.g. /opt/intellij) and copy the idea.properties (in bin) file over to your instance directory.
cp /opt/intellij/bin/idea.properties ~/idea/instance-0/
Copy 3 more directories: system, plugins, and config. I highly recommend doing this without the running instance
cp -r /opt/intellij/system ~/idea/instance-0/
cp -r /opt/intellij/plugins ~/idea/instance-0/
cp -r /opt/intellij/config ~/idea/instance-0/
mkdir ~/idea/instance-0/log
Open your idea.properties file and update the configurations for your directories:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to IDE config folder. Make sure you're using forward slashes.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.config.path=${user.home}/config
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to IDE system folder. Make sure you're using forward slashes.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.system.path=${user.home}/system
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to user installed plugins folder. Make sure you're using forward slashes.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.plugins.path=${user.home}/plugins
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to IDE logs folder. Make sure you're using forward slashes.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.log.path=${user.home}/log
Now, you can start IntelliJ with the new setup:
IDEA_PROPERTIES=~/idea/instance-0/idea.properties /opt/intellij/bin/idea
Obviously, you probably want to put the command in a script file for invocation. This seems to work for me.
File->Settings->General and in section "Startup/Shutdown" check "Confirm window to open project in"
With Ultimate 2020.2, go to Appearance & Behavior > System Settings in the settings dialog and select the "Ask" option for "Open project in"
As per the directions from jetbrains you'll need go to the 'General' page of the 'Settings' dialog and chose 'Open project in a new window'. Then proceed to open a project as you normally do. IntelliJ should then startup a completely new instance.
There is an other very quick way of doing it. There is always an EAP version of the IDE and it can run at same time with the current one. For example I am using AppCode 2017.2 and 2017.3 EAP in parallel.
Go go to IntelliJ | Tools | Create Command-line Launcher...
Keep the defaults (which creates a binary named "idea"):
Now, go to your command line.
Cd to your project directory and type: idea .
This will create a .idea directory for IntelliJ configurations for that project, which it will re-use each time to start IntelliJ from that directory.
You can now go to a different project directory and type: idea .
Assuming you left the previous IntellJ IDE open, you will now have two IntellJ IDEs open, one for each project.
Notes:
1) If your project uses environment variables, then I'd recommending opening a separate terminal tab/window for each project and set that project's environment variables before running: idea .
2) Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you may need to modify your classpath (or settings like Project GOPATH) for each IntelliJ instance.
My answer is not directly related to the question but its a solution for some cases where we think we need 2 Intellij instances.
For my issue I was thinking to launch 2 Intellij instances. But after careful thinking and searching for other options, I found an easy and quick solution and I wanna share with the community
If you are looking to compare files between different branches, and you wanna compare the difference, that can be done with git comparison. You don't need 2 different Intellij instances.
My Case:
In my case, I wanted to copy very specific code from 1 branch to another and I wanted to compare the difference between the code. The restriction was, I can't do git merge or cherry-pick because we didn't want full commit to be part of new branch. Just few necessary lines were required in the new branch.
My Solution:
Select the branch
Open the file where you wanna insert code
Right Click -> Git -> Compare with... (refer to pic)
Select the branch and you will get the difference
Append or Copy the difference
If you have new files or directories, you can create it manually and copy-paste the content
I know this answer doesn't directly relates to what has been asked, but sometimes we miss alternative solutions.
Hope this can be helpful as an alternative solution.
In addition to the above comments from #crazycoder and #magice, Make sure that you are not trying to load Pycharm with the same project two times which happened to me!!!.
For example, in windows10 already loaded with ONLY one project in PyCharm and tried to load another Pycharm instance by clicking on the PyCharm desktop shortcut or from task-bar if added. In this case, Pycharm will not load the second instance.
I have wasted some time here. So, wanted to share with the community as it will help someone out there!!
Cheers,
