Run/Debug Configuration: Cloud Foundry Server

Name field and Share option

Item	Description
Name	Use this field to edit the name of the run/debug configuration. This field is not available when editing the run/debug configuration defaults.
Share	Select this check box to make the run/debug configuration available to other team members. If the directory-based project format is used, the settings for a run/debug configuration are stored in a separate xml file in the .idea\runConfigurations folder if the run/debug configuration is shared and in the .idea\workspace.xml file otherwise. If the file-based format is used, the settings are stored in the .ipr file for shared configurations or in the .iws file for the ones that are not shared. This check box is not available when editing the run/debug configuration defaults.

Server tab

Item	Local/Remote	Description
Application server	Remote	Select the server configuration to be used. Click Configure to create a new server configuration or edit an existing one. (The Application Servers dialog will open.)
Start browser	Remote	Select this check box to run the default Web browser to study your application output there.
With JavaScript debugger	Remote	If this check box is selected, the Web browser is started with the JavaScript debugger enabled. Note JavaScript debugging is available only for Firefox and Google Chrome. Note that when you debug your JavaScript in Firefox for the first time, the JetBrains Firefox extension will be installed.
Startup page	Remote	In this field, specify the URL the browser should go to when started. In most typical cases, this URL will correspond to the root of your Web application or its starting page.
On 'Update' action	Remote	Select the necessary option for the Update application action. Hot swap classes. Changed classes will be recompiled and reloaded at runtime. Note that this option will work only in the debug mode. Redeploy. The overall application will be rebuilt and redeployed.
Show dialog	Remote	Select this check box if you want to see the Update <application name> dialog every time you perform the Update application action. The Update <application name> dialog is used to view and change the current update option prior to actually updating the application.
On frame deactivation	Remote	Specify which application update actions should be performed when switching from IntelliJ IDEA to a different application (for example, a Web browser). (Frame deactivation means switching to a different application.) If no update actions are required, select Do nothing.
Remote connection settings	Remote	The settings for accessing deployed applications. For Cloud Foundry, you don't need to specify any of these settings.
Host	Remote	For Cloud Foundry, IntelliJ IDEA ignores this setting.
Port	Remote	For Cloud Foundry, IntelliJ IDEA ignores this setting.

Deployment tab

Use this tab to specify which artifacts and/or external resources should be deployed onto the server. (An external resource means a deployable Web component such as a .war file which is not represented by a project artifact. Usually, such components are stored outside of the project scope.)

To add items to the deployment list (shown under Deploy at the server startup), use add . To edit the settings for an artifact or external resource, select the corresponding item in the list and use the controls in the right-hand part of the tab. For more information, see the table below.

Type		Select the application type.
Debug		Select this check box to be able to debug the selected application. Note that you cannot debug applications deployed on hosted Cloud Foundry (cloudfoundry.com).
Reload		Click this button to get the application configuration information from the server. This configuration information includes the application settings such as the amount of memory allocated to your applications and the list of services available to them. This function is useful if, in addition to IntelliJ IDEA, you also use other means of configuring your applications. In such cases, IntelliJ IDEA may sometimes be unaware of the configuration changes. So to update IntelliJ IDEA on these changes, you should use the Reload button.
Edit services		Click this button to edit the list of services available to your applications. In the dialog that opens, use or to add or remove the services. Note that the list of services is associated with your user account on the corresponding server rather than a separate application. That is, the list that you edit includes the services that a number of your applications may share as well as the ones used by only one of your applications.
Memory		Specify the amount of memory allocated to your application (MB). Select <Default> to use the server default.
Instances		Specify the number of instances to be created for your application.
Services		Shown in the table are the services available to your applications. Use the check boxes in the Active column to activate and deactivate the services for the selected application. Use the Edit services button to edit the list of the services.

Logs tab

Use this tab to specify which log files generated while running or debugging should be displayed in the console, that is, on the dedicated tabs of the Run or Debug tool window.

Item	Description
Is Active	Select check boxes in this column to have the log entries displayed in the corresponding tabs in the Run tool window or Debug tool window.
Log File Entry	The read-only fields in this column list the log files to show. The list can contain: Full paths to specific files. Ant patterns that define the range of files to be displayed. Aliases to substitute for full paths or patterns. These aliases are also displayed in the headers of the tabs where the corresponding log files are shown. Note If a log entry pattern defines more than one file, the tab header shows the name of the file instead of the log entry alias.
Skip Content	Select this check box to have the previous content of the selected log skipped.
Save console output to file	Select this check box to save the console output to the specified location. Type the path manually, or click the browse button and point to the desired location in the dialog that opens.
Show console when standard out changes	Select this check box to activate output console and bring it forward, if associated process writes to Standard.out.
Show console when standard error changes	Select this check box to activate output console and bring it forward, if associated process writes to Standard.err.
	Click this button to open the Edit Log Files Aliases dialog where you can select a new log entry and specify an alias for it.
	Click this button to edit the properties of the selected log file entry in the Edit Log Files Aliases dialog.
	Click this button to remove the selected log entry from the list.
	Click this button to edit the select log file entry. Note The button is available only when an entry is selected.
