Edit Custom Properties/VM Options grayed out Prashant Created October 17, 2019 01:11 Is it possible to edit custom properties in the plugin ide window. See screenshot below.
Did you specify custom property idea.paths.selector to configure config directory?
Where do I set this property?
Please see this KB article https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544869-Configuring-JVM-options-and-platform-properties
Yann Cebron I am talking about the IDE that opens when you run your plugin. Thanks
See http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/ide_development_instance.html#the-development-instance-sandbox-directory or your run configuration to start IDE
I created a file like this, ~/.IdeaIC2019.3/system/plugins-sandbox/idea.properties
It has no impact.
Please try modifying the run configuration for your plugin instead. If you're using Devkit approach, parameters can be set in run configuration dialog directly. When using Gradle, see https://github.com/JetBrains/gradle-intellij-plugin/blob/master/FAQ.md#how-to-modify-jvm-arguments-of-runide-task
I am using Devkit. I tried passing the parameter as 'Program Arguments' but it didn't work.
DId you use "-Dproperty.name" notation? Also note that VM options must be specified in dedicated field
-D option works. Thanks
