Tox

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 button is displayed only when you select a temporary configuration. Click this button to save a temporary configuration as permanent.

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.

Name

Specify a name for the run configuration to quickly identify it among others when editing or running.

Allow multiple instances

Allow running multiple instances of this run configuration in parallel.

By default, it is disabled, and when you start this configuration while another instance is still running, CLion suggests stopping the running instance and starting another one. This is helpful when a run configuration consumes a lot of resources and there is no good reason to run multiple instances.

Store as project file

Save the file with the run configuration settings to share it with other team members. The default location is .idea/runConfigurations. However, if you do not want to share the .idea directory, you can save the configuration to any other directory within the project.

By default, it is disabled, and CLion stores run configuration settings in .idea/workspace.xml.

tox

Arguments

Specify the arguments that are passed to the tox.ini script. The arguments are delimited with spaces, for example, --some-arg --foo-arg.

Environments to run

Specify here the Python environments/interpreters, where your project will be executed. The environments are delimited with commas, for example, py27,py34.

Environment variables

This field shows the list of environment variables. If the list contains several variables, they are delimited with semicolons.

To fill in the list, click the browse button, or press Shift+Enter and specify the desired set of environment variables in the Environment Variables dialog.

To create a new variable, click , and type the desired name and value.

You might want to populate the list with the variables stored as a series of records in a text file, for example:

Just copy the list of variables from the text file and click Paste () in the Environmental Variables dialog. The variables will be added to the table. Click Ok to complete the task. At any time, you can select all variables in the Environment Variables dialog, click Copy , and paste them into a text file.

Python Interpreter

Select one of the pre-configured Python interpreters.

Interpreter options

In this field, specify the command-line options to be passed to the interpreter. If necessary, click , and type the string in the editor.

Working directory

Specify a directory to be used by the running task.

• When a default run/debug configuration is created by the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F10, or by choosing Run from the context menu of a script, the working directory is the one that contains the executable script. This directory may differ from the project directory.

• When this field is left blank, the bin directory of the CLion installation will be used.

You can use path variables in this field.

Add content roots to PYTHONPATH

Select this checkbox to add all content roots of your project to the environment variable PYTHONPATH.

Add source roots to PYTHONPATH

Select this checkbox to add all source roots of your project to the environment variable PYTHONPATH.

Docker container settings

Click to open the dialog and specify the following settings:

Options

• Disable networking: select this checkbox to have the networking disabled. This corresponds to --net="none", which means that inside a container the external network resources are not available.

• Network mode: corresponds to the other values of the option --net.

  • bridge is the default value. An IP address will be allocated for container on the bridge’s network and traffic will be routed through this bridge to the container.

    Containers can communicate via their IP addresses by default. To communicate by name, they must be linked.

  • host: use the host's network stack inside the container.

  • container:<name|id>: use the network stack of another container, specified via its name or id.

  For more information, refer to the Network settings documentation.

• Links: Use this section to link the container to be created with the other containers. This is applicable to Network mode = bridge and corresponds to the --link option.

• Publish all ports: Expose all container ports to the host. This corresponds to the option --publish-all.

• Port bindings: Specify the list of port bindings. Similar to using the -p option with docker run.

• Extra hosts: This corresponds to the --add-host option. For more information, refer to Managing /etc/hosts.

• Volume bindings: Use this field to specify the bindings between the special folders-volumes and the folders of the computer, where the Docker daemon runs. This corresponds to the -v option. For more information, refer to Managing data in containers.

• Environment variables: Use this field to specify the list of environment variables and their values. This corresponds to the -e option. For more information, refer to ENV (environment variables).
