[Flex/AIR] "clear to application data" option
Hi there !
Though this might sound weird, I am an happy 2014 mobile Air developer, ;) but since Adobe did not update the tool I use for developement (Flash Builder 4.7) in 3 years, I am seriously considering switching to IntelliJ. I downloaded the demo version and I must say that I am amazed by the product. It lacks only one thing, and it will prevent me from buying it and stick to Flash Builder if I can't reproduce it. I am talking about the Flash Builder option named "clear application data" in the debug profile settings, allowing to get rid of the local files created by the last debug iteration on device or emulator, and I can't see it in IntelliJ (see image below) :
This thing is mandatory to develop mobile apps, since it's a pain to manually remove those file on each debug.
Any idea or advice on this ? Thanks !

I'm afraid there's no such check box in IntelliJ IDEA yet :(. Vote for IDEA-106027.
If you do not want to delete *.sol file manually you can write a simple Ant script and configure it as 'Before launch' in Run | Edit Configurations...
Thanks for your answer.
I added my vote to the IDEA-106027
For me, this is a no go for IJ until it's fixed :(
According to the feature request, this option was added starting from version 2018.3.
I cannot seem to find it in 2020.2. Can you help me?
I searched "clear", "clear app"...
Denis, see the last comment in the issue and follow the link in it.
Thank you Alexander, sorry about that, it was right in front of me, and then I looked for it at the wrong places.
I have Run/Debug configurations that target Android and Windows Desktop.
However, it seems that the option is available only for the Android target, and not for Desktop, am I right? (probably why I couldn't find it in the first place)
True
Thanks. But... too bad!
