Run/Debug Configuration: Gradle
Configuration tab
Item | Description |
---|---|
Gradle Project | Use this field to specify the location of your Gradle project. You can either click and select from the list of the registered Gradle projects, or provide the path manually. |
Tasks | Use this field to specify the list of tasks for your Run/Debug configuration. Use spaces to separate one task from another. |
VM Options | Use this field to specify VM options for your Gradle project. If you need more room to type, click next to the field to access the VM options dialog where the text entry area is larger. When specifying JVM options, follow these rules:
|
Arguments | Specify Gradle command line parameters. |
Environment variables | Set a list of environment variables used by your Grade project. |
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 checkboxes 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:
|
Save console output to file | Select this checkbox 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 a message is printed to standard output stream | Select this checkbox to activate the output console and bring it forward if an associated process writes to Standard.out. |
Show console when a message is printed to standard error stream | Select this checkbox to activate the output console and bring it forward if an 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. The button is available only when an entry is selected. |
Common options
When you edit a run configuration (but not a run configuration template), you can specify the following options:
Item | Description |
---|---|
Name | In this field, specify the name for the run/debug configuration. The name will help you identify the created configuration when you choose to edit it later, or when you invoke it, for example, from the Run popup (Shift+Alt+F10). |
Share | Select this checkbox to make the run/debug configuration available to other team members. The shared run/debug configurations are kept in separate xml files under .idea\runConfigurations folder, while the local run/debug configurations are kept in the .idea\workspace.xml. |
Allow running in parallel | If this checkbox is selected, it is possible to launch a run configuration multiple times in parallel instead of rerunning it. Each runner will start in its own tab of the Run Tool Window or Debug Tool Window. When disabled, every time a new instance of the run/debug configuration is launched, CLion checks the presence of the other instances of the same run/debug configuration, and displays a confirmation dialog. If you click OK in the confirmation dialog, the first instance of the runner will be stopped, and the next one will take its place. This makes sense when launching two instances of run/debug configurations of the same type consumes too much of the CPU and memory resources.. |
Toolbar
The tree view of run/debug configurations has a toolbar that helps you manage configurations available in your project as well as adjust default configurations templates.
Item | Shortcut | Description |
---|---|---|
Alt+Insert | Create a run/debug configuration. | |
Alt+Delete | Delete the selected run/debug configuration. Note that you cannot delete default configurations. | |
Ctrl+D | Create a copy of the selected run/debug configuration. Note that you create copies of default configurations. | |
The toolbar shows this button only when you select a temporary configuration. Click this button to save a temporary configuration as permanent. | ||
View and edit the template (that is, the default settings) for the selected run/debug configuration. The templates are displayed under the Templates node and used for newly created configurations. | ||
/ | Alt+Up/Alt+Down | Move the selected run/debug configuration up and down in the list. The order of configurations in the list defines the order, in which the configurations appear when you choose a run/debug configuration. Default templates of run/debug configurations are always sorted alphabetically. |
Move into new folder / Create new folder. You can group run/debug configurations by placing them into folders. To create a folder, select the configurations within a category, click , and specify the folder name. If only a category is in focus, an empty folder is created. Then, to move a configuration into a folder, between the folders or out of a folder, use drag or and buttons. To remove grouping, select a folder and click . | ||
Click this button to sort configurations in the alphabetical order. |
Before Launch options
In this area you can specify tasks that must be performed before starting the selected run/debug configuration. The tasks are performed in the order they appear in the list.
Item | Shortcut | Description |
---|---|---|
Alt+Insert | Click this icon to add one of the following available tasks:
| |
Alt+Delete | Click this icon to remove the selected task from the list. | |

Show this page | Select this checkbox to show the run/debug configuration settings prior to actually starting the run/debug configuration. | |
Activate tool window | By default this checkbox is selected and the Run or the Debug tool window opens when you start the run/debug configuration. Otherwise, if the checkbox is cleared, the tool window isn't shown. However, when the configuration is running, you can open the corresponding tool window for it yourself by pressing Alt+4 or Alt+5. |
