IntelliJ Fails Deploying exploded war to tomcat

Question

I have a Java web application I am developing in IntelliJ and deploying using Apache Tomcat. I have some run configurations defined that are shared between everyone on the team.

Answer 1

Before Intellij 2019.2 :

Under Gradle Settings, you have to make sure you don't have checked 'Delegate IDE build/run actions to gradle'

Since Intellij 2019.2 :

Settings is now under 'Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle'. You have to select Build and run using : Intellij IDEA
