my test.coffee is in \cs, and I want test.js in \js. In Run/Debug configurations, in Node JS section there is "coffeeScript perameters:". As I understand there must be something like "--output js --compile cs" or "coffee --output js --compile cs" so it compile recursively all in \cs folder and output all .js in \js. But it dosen't

Well, case is that once it worked! I make such configuration, that test.js appears in \js. But than I broke it and can't reproduce any more
:( . Changes was only in Run configuration in Node JS section.

Run configuration parameters is intended to be used for launching NodeJS

Yes, and I'm using NodeJS: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/coffeescript-support.html I just cann't run coffeeScript without NodeJS if I dont want to use some online compilators. At least I dont know how to do that.
And here http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/run-debug-configuration-node-js.html said that

CoffeeScript parameters     Specify here the parameters to be passed to CoffeeScript.

so if it is not place for this http://coffeescript.org/documentation/docs/command.html coffeeScript parameters, than what does this field for? (about argument for --compile I read in "The Little Book on CoffeeSrcipt". Would be very glad if work even without it)

Upd: from coffeescript documentation which is provide with corrent coffeescript source:

Examples:

• Compile a directory tree of .coffee files in src into a parallel tree of .js files in lib:
  coffee --compile --output lib/ src/

So finaly I've done it!

The problem is that content of "CoffeeScript parameters" feald do nothig. Write there "elephant", IDEA just ignore it.

What we need to setup Run/Debug Configuration:
    - Desable "Ran with CoffeeScript plugin" checkmark
    - In "Node Parameters" set ""YOUR_PASS_TO_COFFEESCRIPT_FOLDER\bin\coffee" -c -o js/"

so you get all .js files in /js folder in your project derectory (set any other if you want. C.O. :) )
