CLion Debug - Couldn't create target

Hello!

Please enable debugger logging as described here, reproduce the issue and send the resulting idea.log file (Help | Show Log in ...) to clion-support at jetbrains.com. Note that logs might contain private user's information (like file paths and names). 

Exactly the same issue.

I am also running CLion 2019.2 on macOS Catalina Beta, and any C++ project with "cin" will crash.

In case of Catalina there is https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-17126. Please try using CLion 2019.2.2, we've included a fix in it (https://blog.jetbrains.com/clion/2019/09/clion-2019-2-2-bug-fix-update/).

I am using

* CLion: version 2019.2.4
* Mac Catalina: version 10.15

I am seeing the "Couldn't create target" bug mentioned above in my C++ project.

Below is my debug log:

Hi Andre!

According to this path "/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/CLion/ch-0/192.6817.18/CLion.app" you're using build 192.6817.18 which is CLion 2019.2.3. CLion 2019.2.3 indeed has this problem. Please update to CLion 2019.2.4, the issue should be fixed in it.

Thanks for catching that. My Jetbrains Toolbox said 2019.2.4, but the link I still had in my toolbar was opening the 2019.2.3 version. This has now corrected my issue.

I was having the same problem on 2019.2.1, and the problem was fixed after I updated to 2019.2.5.

Thanks! This tip helped me too!
