I'm very new to Rapidoid and I'm experiencing problem with initial configuration of the application. I'm using Rapidoid 5.5.5 with following Rapidoid modules defined in pom:
rapidoid-commons
rapidoid-http-server
rapidoid-web
Java 11 is used to run the application.
I've prepared a custom config-develop.yml file where I've changed value for port to use from default 8080 to 18888 and added some menu items in gui: section however when I start application none of my changes were used: generated log does not have any data about accepting/use of parameters from my file and configuration files are the files that are included into rapidoid-commons Maven artefact.
Also, the log shows that classpath used is limited to /target/classes folder (I'm using Maven as build tool). So, these are my questions:
What are the rules for merging configuration information when multiple config-*.yml files are present in search path?
How I can tell Rapidoid to ignore some configuration files?
Is it possible to specify explicit name for configuration file as part of initialisation process?
I'm happy to provide additional information if this will help to find an answer to the questions above.
With best regards,
Nick
Is there a way to configure the settings of a project in CLion (2017.2.1 or later) programmatically via a script or terminal commands?
Specifically, the settings (File > Settings) I would like to be able to set via a command or script are:
those found under the Build, Execution, Deployment menu:
CMake/Generation/Configuration
CMake/Generation/CMake options
CMake/Generation/Generation path
CMake/Generation/Build options
those found under the Version Control menu:
Add
Git/Allow force push
etc.
Rationale:
The project directory contains the .idea directory. This is automatically created by CLion as soon as you open/import a suitable repo in the IDE. As far as I can tell, all the settings I am interesting in reside under $PROJECT_DIR$/.idea/workspace.xml saved there after I painstakingly configure the settings of the project by hand.
According to https://www.jetbrains.com/help/clion/project.html:
All the settings files in the .idea directory should be put under version control except the workspace.xml, which stores your local preferences. The workspace.xml file should be marked as ignored by VCS.
However, for cases where the above is not an option - developers who use an IDE-independent system - it becomes quite important (for ease of use, consistency, trace-ability, etc.) to be able to automatically configure a cloned project for CLion with specific pre-defined settings.
What I have tried:
I have tried, copying the .idea directory of an already-configured-project in CLion over to a newly-cloned repo (which has no such .idea directory) but some settings dependent paths did not work. Also, this solution is not as elegant/straight-forward as running a script (if that is indeed a possibility)/
Furthermore, I have tried using the Export settings option (File > Export Settings...) but the extracted jar file does not hold any project configuration; it only holds code style, UI and other general settings.
I understand that CLion is not open-source but if anyone knows the necessary commands or knows of an available API or even a plugin to allow programmatically configuring these settings in a CLion project, please let me know.
My application needs custom environment variables to run.
I have created a run configuration in IntelliJ in order to start the application. For environment variables, I have set VM options.
Example :
-DDATABASE_URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:#dbbdevdb0397.fr:1522:DBZD08
My concern is to add all environment variables in my IntelliJ configuration automatically.
That is why I have set these environment variables inside a separated file
Example : DEV.env
DATABASE_URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:#dbbdevdb0397.fr:1522:DBZD08
Is it possible to load this file DEV.env in a IntelliJ run configuration as it could be done by SH script:
eval $(cat DEV.env | sed 's/^/export /');
As of March 14th 2017 it appears that someone has written a plugin which allows this.
Open settings, then select plugins
In the search box search for “.env files support” and install it.
After restarting IntelliJ you will have a new tab in the Run Configurations screen called EnvFile.
The EnvFile tab will have a checkbox for enabling EnvFile support and a list where you can specify the env files you want to load prior to launching that specific run configuration; you need to set the env file option up for each run configuration.
I have a similar use case to yours and it works for me in specifying env files associated with a run configuration.
Additional Information on the plugin:

I have a run configuration in PyCharm with script parameters that take in a directory. Then, I have several directories (a changing number) in my project which I would like to easily be able to run this configuration on. Is there anyway to add an option to the right-click menu of directories to run the configuration passing that directory to the configuration? Or some other method which provides similar accessibility to running the configuration on a directory?
For my specific problem, I have many log directories for TensorBoard (from TensorFlow) and I would like to selectively and easily be able to start up an instance of TensorBoard running on a given directory.
Basically if you would run it in pycharm You can write your own plugin to add some functionality to the IDE. There is a great documentation on how to create plugins in idea/pycharm:
http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/getting_started.html
We have done it before and it was a successful plugin, it really sped up the development processs. :)
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,
