Environment variable for Tomcat log directory?
已回答
IDEA Ultimate's Tomcat integration is great, but I was wondering if there's an environment variable to point to the (temporary) Tomcat working path, not the Tomcat installation. I repeatedly need to get to extra log files which are stored in the temporary working directory, which on my system is something like:
C:\Users\me\.IntelliJIdea15\system\tomcat\Unnamed_installation_here\logs
Where "Unnamed_installation_here" is different for every configuration. It would be nice to have a variable or property like ${project.logs} to point to. Is there such a thing?

Where do you want to use this environment variable?
When Tomcat is started, IDEA passes CATALINA_BASE environment variable to catalina startup script:
If you need to use it later, you can probably adjust catalina script so that it saves this variable value into some file where you can access it.
I'd really like to use it in this dialog. Maybe there's something I don't understand, but the temporary CATALINA_BASE path seems to change periodically.
It should not change if you don't rename the project or run/debug configuration. This dialog doesn't support environment variables.
Hmm, well that takes care of that idea. Thanks for the information.
Is there a ticket somewhere for this feature enhancement? It's kind of a PITA to force our developers to put stuff in the same locations everywhere just so IDEA projects don't break. Ideally we wouldn't need any absolute paths stored anywhere besides like a single variable or some such.
You can submit a ticket at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA and describe the use case.
With every new version of IntelliJ the former configured log locations are corrupt. As you see it's part of the path
Using CATALINA_BASE: "C:\Users\gregor.pircher\AppData\Local\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2022.3\tomcat\aa7f9b11-fe6f-4ce9-8a94-0f60b9e58de7"
