Running from Services:

Running from the terminal works fine though

Try starting WebStorm from terminal using bin/webstorm.sh - does the issue persist?

When being launched from desktop/System menu/Toolbox, WebStorm only sees environment variables configured in login shell, but not in interactive shell configuration files (like .bashrc or .zshrc). Possible solutions:

Workaround 1: make required variables available in a login shell by moving them to the corresponding shell profile config
Workaround 2: run IDE from a terminal to make it inherit terminal environment

Hi,

same for IntelliJ IDEA 2020.2.4 (Ultimate Edition), Build #IU-202.8194.7, built on November 24, 2020. The "Run configuration" does not get the complete PATH. For me, "Workaround 2" is working.

I used to run IntelliJ from the Toolbox and this actually used to work before so this looks rather like a regression to me at first. On the other hand I did update to macOS Big Sur recently. But actually the previous IntelliJ Version worked so something did change in the mean time.
