The following is only valid when Ruby or Python Plugin is installed and enabled!

Use this dialog box to create configurations containing multiple run/debug configurations that you can launch at once. This is useful, for example, if you want to launch various automated tests and get test results in one window.

Press ../../Shared/new.png to select which of the existing configurations you want to include into the Compound configuration, and fill in the following fields:

ItemDescription
Name Specify the name of the new Run/Debug Configuration.
Share Select this checkbox 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, or 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 otherwise.

This checkbox is not available when editing the run/debug configuration defaults.
