does intellij support variables in launch configurations?

Question

In eclipse I can include things like the following in the vm args or program args in a launch configuration:

-Dsome.system.property=${string.prompt:explanation:d         


        

Answer 1

I've never seen anything like that in all my years using IntelliJ IDEA.

You can open a feature request in their issue tracker, and maybe they'll implement it in a future release.

Answer 2

Just did this for a machine specific variable in IntelliJ 11.0.2. Set up a path variable i.e. MY_VARIABLE. Use in your run config as you would in eclipse : ${MY_VARIABLE}

Answer 3

Maybe this is what you want. it's work on mine project.

e.g.

launchctl setenv ANDROID_HOME= /usr/myuser/android_sdk/
and restart intellij

Answer 4

There is no direct equivalent in IntelliJ. To make it easier to share configurations or other project settings between multiple developers, you can use path variables (Settings | Path Variables, see the Help for more information). To customize the options before launching the run configuration, enable the "Before launch | Show Settings" option in the run configuration settings.

Answer 5

In the 2016 version of IntelliJ at least, you can access environment variables using the brace-enclosed environment variable syntax:

${HOME}/path/to/file

is expanded properly, but the alternative syntax

$HOME/path/to/file

does not work.
