Can i change the launcherdir for a server config

You can change "Module compiler output", see https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/configure-modules.html#module-compiler-output

Hi there, thanks for quick reply. That's not what i'm after though, i have already set that to no avail. The directory i'm talking about is where the assembled war file ends up for a Web run, or GWT in my case. Changing the value you are referring to does not change the build directory, it will still end up in the same place.

Check artifact output directory

And GWT run configuration: 

Thanks, but sorry i have tried that too. See attached screenshots below. I set both working dir in run config, and output dir in module. But when i run the gwt config this is what i have in the log:

Running CodeServer with parameters: [-noprecompile, -port, 9876, -sourceLevel, 1.8, -bindAddress, 127.0.0.1, -launcherDir, /Users/myuser/Library/Caches/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.3/gwt/myproject.c649263f/webapp.4bc799d9/run/www...
Super Dev Mode starting up
workDir: /var/folders/z0/2dtr2qbx0yv36ww5xmy3sx040000gn/T/gwt-codeserver-2640879107929619798.tmp

Not sure what i'm doing wrong.

You can use Super Dev Mode and add "-war /path/to/dir/" dev mode parameter, which will change launcherdir. 

Thank you so much for helping with this wonderful article.
