CLion standard input while debugging

Question

What I\'m trying to do is basically:

./myProgram < myData.txt

While I\'m debugging with CLion IDE. I just can\'t find the option to do so.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and it seems that CLion is not handling standard inputs yet.

I got around this problem by changing the input stream before running my program.

As an example if you want to input a file stream inside your stdin you can write in your main:

std::ifstream in("ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_YOUR_FILE");
std::cin.rdbuf(in.rdbuf());

Then you can find a way to toggle this stream change when you want. Note that for files you will need to provide absolute path since the application is run from a different directory than the current one.

I hope this can help until CLion provides a real solution.
