Upgrading to IntelliJ 2017.1 changed behaviour of diff tool
Answered
Hello,
I just upgraded to IntelliJ 2017.1. My OS is El Capitan.
When I have IntelliJ closed, I can use diff from the CLI like before.
> /usr/local/bin/idea diff file1.txt file2.txt
However, when I open IntelliJ, the same command just changes the focus from my terminal to IntelliJ, without opening the diff window.
This used to work before the upgrade.

Does it help if you recreate the Command line launcher (use Tools - Create Command-line Launcher..)?
There is similar issue reported for earlier version btw:
