I had been developing an application on a trial version of IntelliJ 2016 Ultimate. Since the trial version ran out, I resumed work using the Community Edition. However, trying to launch my application yielded the following error:
Unknown run configuration type #com.intellij.j2ee.web.tomcat.TomcatRunConfigurationFactory
"No problem" I thought, just an incompatible plugin that was installed with Ultimate that I don't really need anyway. I opened the Plugins section of the Preferences menu, but I can't find the plugin in question. Below is a partial screenshot of the plugin list where I would expect to see the plugin listed in the error message.
The configuration can also not be edited from the Run/Debug Configurations menu, but lists the Run Configuration error as: "Broken configuration due to unavailable plugin or invalid configuration data."
Am I really unable to uninstall the Ultimate plugin preventing my run configuration from working from the Community Edition? What can I do to fix this if so?
It's have been a long time since this question was launched but it might be useful for new searches.
I got the same error with Dart and Flutter.
Just go to Menu >> File >> Settings. Then type plugins on the search box. Check if your plugins need to be updated (in my case Dart and Flutter). I the screenshot I had clicked in the "update" green button. So it turns into "Restart IDE" text. It should fix the problem once you restart the IDE.
To the best of my knowledge the community edition of IDEA will not load and run plugins that are not compatible with it. Moreover, by default, the community edition uses a different configuration directory than the Ultimate edition. So unless you modified the config directory to use, the community version should not be picking up the Ultimate Edition's plugins. Based on the error you show, I think the issue is you simply need to delete that Run configuration. The error is saying that that Run configuration wants to use a Plugin (The Tomcat Plugin) that is not available (i.e. not installed).
If you still want to confirm what plugins are installed, you can manually uninstall a plugin by removing it from the plugins directory. Note that some plugins are simply a standalone JAR, in the plugins directory, others are sub-directories within the plugins directory. Just delete the JAR or sub-directory.
That plugins directory is the idea config directory. See Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs for information on its location. On windows for example, by default it will be:
Ultimate: C:\Users\UserName\.IntelliJIdea2016\config\plugins
Community: C:\Users\UserName\..IdeaIC2016\config\plugins
UPDATE
I forgot to mention... bundled plugins are in ${idea-install-directory}/plugins. So for the ultimate edition, the Tomcat plugin is in ${idea-install-directory}/plugins/Tomcat. That is why, as you mentioned in your comment below, you are not seeing that plugin in the user installed plugin directory I mentioned above.
updating flutter and android studio worked in my
case
Simple upgrade Dart plugin..
Go to Settings/Plugins/Browse Repositories and search dart (Language) and upgrade
this will work.
I had a similar worded issue "Run Configuration Error: Broken configuration due to unavailable plugin or invalid configuration data."
In the bottom right part of the Rider IDE, you will see a popup that says
"Plugin supporting feature (Run Configuration[UNITY_ATTACH_AND_PLAY]) is currently disabled."
Click enable plugins, and restart when Rider asks you to do so.
If this does not work, remember that one possible reason is the issues with macOS indexing (my Macbook started to malfunction after its battery hit 0). A way to check is to try and search a file from the top right corner(). If you can not find existing files, this means macOS messed up with indexing.
To solve it, click Apple icon on top left side and go to System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy Tab -> Add all folders to the "won't index" box -> Remove everything you have added so they get reindexed.

Lastly, go to Rider and hit File -> Invalidate Caches and Restart.

I've recently installed the Cursive plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. At first startup, a popup asks whether ClojureDocs examples should be downloaded:
I clicked on "Don't ask me again" by mistake, instead of "Download". This only happens on the first startup of the plugin, so there's no chance of getting the choice again (as explained in the relevant documentation).
How do I get this installed? As I'm fairly new to the language and environment, I find the examples of great help.
I've searched for a setting that would allow the plugin to ask again, or to initiate the download - no success.
I've tried to disable then enable the plugin (including restarts of the IDE) - no success.
I've tried to uninstall then reinstall the plugin (including restarts of the IDE) - no success. It seems to remember the old setting.
I imagine removing some configuration file or option would do the trick.
This applies to IntelliJ IDEA version 2020.3 and Cursive version 1.10.0-2020.3 - the Cursive plugin has already been installed and is active.
On menu go to File > Settings, in Settings Language & Frameworks > Clojure, heading Documentation Options, click Update.
I am running IntelliJ 15 Ultimate and trying to enable the Tomcat plugin (which for some reason was disabled). However, IntelliJ does not seem to let me re-enable it.
What I have tried is
Re-install IntelliJ 15, and I chose to replace the old version, but the problems with the plugin seem to be persistent
Deleting /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA 15.app/Contents/plugins/Tomcat between the re-installs to ensure it was not being re-used, but with no avail
Verifying that I have a licensed/paid version of IntelliJ 15 Ultimate edition
At this point I'm not sure what to do, as a re-install clearly did not work. Are there any directories or files I could manually change/remove?
I am using OS X version 10.11.2 is that matters.
You need to enable the "Java EE: EJB, JPA, Servlets" plugin as well. The message is displayed because that plugin is not enabled, and the Tomcat plugin depends on it.
The only solution I could come up with was to entirely wipe IntelliJ and any config files it created as described in this answer.
Upon installing IntelliJ once again, the Tomcat plugin was enabled and was able to create a run configuration for that! Maybe not a fix per se, but it works as expected again.
I recently upgraded from IntelliJ 14 to 15 ultimate and I realized I can no longer configure checkstyles as Other Settings in setting window is completely missing.
I cannot understand what I did wrong, and I am not sure if it's some configuration missing to get this Other Settings back.
Exact version : IntelliJ Ultimate 15.0.1
Here is how it looks:
What I tried:
Well I tried searching if there is a way to bring it back, but no luck yet. my colleague is using same version and he can see it. So may be during importing some settings or default configuration from IntelliJ 14, something went wrong.
This happened on an EAP build of Intellij 15:
Solution 1
I had the same issue after upgrade. For me the fix was simply to uninstall Checkstyle-IDEA, restart Intellij and then install it again after which I was able to see: Refer here for doing the same : IntelliJ Installing Plugins
Solution 2
If a restart does not fix your problem, I would recommend a manual cleanup. Steps to do so:
Uninstall Checkstyle-IDEA plugin from within Intellij
Close Intellij and remove the Checkstyle-IDEA directory from the plugins folder. The location of the plugins folder depends on the OS and is documented here : https://devnet.jetbrains.com/docs/DOC-181 For example: Windows: <SYSTEM DRIVE>\Users\<USER ACCOUNT NAME>\config\plugins OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIdeaXX
Re-install the plugin and (after a restart) check if you can see the 'Other Settings' -> 'Checkstyle' section again.
Suggestion
Also, I am tempted to suggest that it might be worth seeing if the 'Other Settings' section appears when you install a plugin like 'Grep Console' which puts it's settings there:
I'm trying to import and run the IntelliJ git4idea (Git Integration) plugin in order to play around and contribute some of my own code.
I've pulled the Intellij community edition from the github repo, and imported the git4idea plugin as a project. I'm running the Intellij community edition
My main issue is this:
After importing all the modules, the git4idea module comes up as a general module type, and not a plugin module type.
This means that when trying to create a new run\debug configuration, I get [none] under "Use classpath of module", instead of of the ability to select the git4idea plugin. This obviously results in a "Run configuration error: no plugin module specified for configuration".
So the question is -
How can I change the general type of imported "git4idea" to plugin type?
Or better yet, what are the steps required in order to import and build/debug/run a plugin from the Intellij community edition repo?
I was able to solve this by manually reordering file directories, sorting out dependencies and editing the .iml file. The type of plugin is defined by changing type="JAVA_MODULE" to type="PLUGIN_MODULE".
...
This is the answer given by Dmitry Jemerov on the official Jetbrains plugin development forum:
The easiest answer to this is "don't". The IntelliJ IDEA Community
Edition project is set up to be developed as a whole, and the
dependencies are set up accordingly. If you want to hack on the Git
plugin, you simply run IDEA using the provided run configuration, it
runs with all plugins enabled, and you simply make whatever changes
you need and test them using the main run configuration.
If you really want, you can set up a new plugin module and point it to
the source code of the git4idea plugin inside the IntelliJ IDEA
Community Edition Git checkout. This is not too hard, but it's
something you'll need to do from scratch, and you can't use the
existing .iml file.
I had the same no plugin module specified for configuration issue. To work around it, instead of importing, I created a new plugin project and used the existing code directory.
when you import the intelij plugin projects
You should run the 'runIde' task in gradle.
Step-by-step instruction
Build your IDEA plugin (usually done with gradle build).
Start Intellij IDEA.
If you have any project opened, go to menu "File->Close all projects" to return to Intellij IDEA startup screen.
Install the plugin you've just built: on the left side of the "Welcome to Intellij IDEA" startup screen go to "Plugins", then click "gear" icon on the right side, it's located to the right of "Marketplace" and "Installed". From the pop-up menu select "Install Plugin from Disk...", navigate to plugin file (usually in build folder) and click "Ignore and continue" when you see the warning message saying something about signature.
Restart Intellij IDEA.
Open the folder with your IDEA plugin.
Wait until IDEA imported your Gradle project.
Put breakpoints inside your plugin code so you can debug it.
Go to menu "Run->Edit configurations".
In the "Run/Debug Configurations" window on the left side click "+".
Select "Gradle" from the pop-up menu.
On the right side change "Name" to "gradle-run-ide" (without quotes).
On the right side under "Run", inside "Tasks and arguments" field enter runIde ("i" must be capital, other letters small).
Click "OK" to save changes.
Go to menu "Run->Debug 'gradle-run-ide'".
A new, black-colored IDEA window should appear.
In this black-colored IDEA window do whatever you need to do in order to invoke methods of your plugin. When you invoke them, the first IDEA window should stop you on breakpoints you set previously.
Happy debugging.
After changing type="JAVA_MODULE" to type="PLUGIN_MODULE" in *.iml file I was getting following error -
Error running 'IdeaPlugin': Wrong SDK type for plugin module
To fix this go to -
Module Settings -> Platform settings -> SDKs.
Click on Add new SDK
Select Intellij Platform plugin SDK
For home directory select your Inetllij installation dir
Select JAVA SDK you want to use with it.
Once this is added got to Module Settings again
Module Settings -> Project settings -> project.
In Project SDK change the JAVA sdk to the SDK we just added in the above steps.
Run/Debug you plugin now.
I am a newbie to IntelliJ IDEA. I was trying to deploy a web app in Tomcat.
It failed to deploy and i was not able to see any errors in the log console.
After much searching, I was able to find out the log files at
~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIdea10/tomcat/_p1/logs/ folder.
There were a bunch of log files here and one of the files contained the error. I then could solve the issue and proceed.
I was a user of eclipse and this error would have come directly in the log console in eclipse. However this is not the case in IntelliJ IDEA. Can somebody please explain what I am missing here?
Also, it would be nice if somebody could point out how the integration with Tomcat is done in IDEA (for better understanding). Note: I am using IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.2 Ultimate edition on Mac OS 10.6.8.
IntelliJ IDEA instructs Tomcat to use temporary directory as CATALINA_BASE where it places context configuration with the Artifact path from your project settings, it doesn't copy your web application into webapps directory.
In the Tomcat Run/Debug configuration there is Logs tab where you can specify custom logs to show in IDEA console, it should work out of the box, but probably you have customized logging in Tomcat configuration or in the application itself. Or maybe Tomcat 7 logging configuration is different and doesn't work with IDEA in which case you should submit a bug.
Here's some info for Windows users....if you check the boxes for 'Show console when stdout/stderr change', you may find that the Output tab does not show up even if stdout/stderr change.
For me, this was due to directory structure for the project containing spaces.
When I renamed the directory structure so that it did not contain spaces the Output tab showed up.
Found solution here: Cannot deploy project to tomcat inside intellij IDEA 14. Applications Context was incorrect.
Run/Debug Configurations -> Deployment tab -> Applications Context
