Create compound run/debug configurations

Suppose you would like to launch multiple run/debug configurations simultaneously. For example, you may want to run the sequence of several test configurations, or run several configurations of different types (for example, JavaScript, HTML, and so on). You can configure this behavior with a compound run/debug configuration.

When you run or debug your code using a compound configuration, you actually launch a sequence of configurations it includes in the order they are listed.

Create a compound run/debug configuration

  1. Open the Run/Debug configurations dialog. You can access it from the Run | Edit Configurations main menu or using the run configuration switcher on the toolbar.

  2. In the dialog that opens, click icons.general.add.png and select Compound from the Add New Configuration menu.

  3. In the Name field, specify the configuration's name.

  4. Select Store as project file to make this run/debug configuration available to other team members.

  5. To include a new run/debug configuration into compound configuration, click icons.general.add.png and select the desired one from the list.

  6. Click Apply and OK buttons to finish.
