Using "Run..." pop-up changes Executable for the selected Configuration

One of my favorite features of CLion is the "Run..." pop-up, which I can summon with the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-R (on Mac). However, a recent version of CLion (I think within the last few months) introduced a very frustrating bug. Say that my currently selected Configuration is Foo, and that I use the "Run..." pop-up to select "Bar." CLion will then compile "Bar" but then run "Foo"! Somehow, using this pop-up causes CLion to change the "Executable" for the "Bar" configuration to "Foo". I've confirmed this by going to the "Run/Debug Configurations" window. Has anybody else had this issue? I do not have this issue when selecting a Configuration using the dropdown in the toolbar.

I'm using CLion 2017.3.3.

Hi! Unfortunately, I didn't manage to reproduce the issue on my side (CLion 2017.3.3, macOS).

How were these configurations created - manually or automatically based on the CMakeLists.txt file? Could you please provide us with the simple sample project with which the issue can be reproduced? Is it possible to record a screencast illustrating the issue? You can send the materials to clion-support at jetbrains.com.

Please also check whether the issue is still actual with CLion 2018.1 EAP.

Thank you Anna for responding and testing this so quickly.

The configurations were created automatically based on a CMakeLists.txt file, though I may have edited the configurations to specify a working directory and/or environment variables.

I'll try to create a sample project or record a screencast.

Am I able to install CLion 2018.1 EAP alongside a stable release?

Yes, sure, you can install CLion 2018.1 EAP alongside a stable release.

I'm also bumping into this on CLion 2018.1.5. I have an out-of-source CMakeLists.txt with this content:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.11)
project(my_project)

add_subdirectory(lib)
add_subdirectory(server)
add_subdirectory(client)

The project amounts to a hello world project over sockets with server and client each linking to lib.

project(my_project_server)

add_executable(server "")
target_compile_features(server PUBLIC cxx_std_17)
target_link_libraries(server lib)
target_sources(server PRIVATE server-main.cpp)

Both the client and server have almost the same CMakeLists.txt. The auto generated AND custom configurations for client will switch to the server executable after a couple of runs through the debugger. It can be pretty annoying, especially when the server tries to bind to the same port twice.

Hopefully that helps.

EDIT: I expanded on this a bit on the issue tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-11628

@Abraidwood88 thanks for submitting the issue! Looks related to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-11874. Please try using CLion 2018.2 RC3 as my colleague asked.
