IntelliJ and Terminal

[frank mango]

Right now, when I run the program in IntelliJ, it runs it in the IDE console. I don't want that, I want the real terminal to be opened. As I am using ANSI cursor codes and the IDE doesn't support it. How can I make IntelliJ open the terminal external window?

step 1: go to edit configuration

Step 2: click on + icon and add new shell script

step 3: configure it to your needs and select apply.

if you are using windows and need to open cmd you can use
Start-Process cmd.exe -ArgumentList "/k (your command) in script text.

and if its default maven project just add Start-Process cmd.exe -ArgumentList "/k mvn clean install -Dskip to your script text.

NOTE:
This command will be executed in IntelliJ terminal and the command will open cmd to run you script.

Oh thanks, shouldn't I have java MyMainClass.java in the script text or what

[acoustic birch]

depends on your project

are you using maven, gradel or default java?

[frank mango]

Gradle

[acoustic birch]

i haven't use gradel so i am not 100% sure buti think this should work
Start-Process cmd.exe -ArgumentList "/k gradel run"

[frank mango]

Just a quick question, when I did java MainClass.java manually in the terminal, it compiled instantly and the project started as fast as python's startup. But when I run it in IntelliJ, it takes way longer

Why is IntelliJ taking way too long

Is it the Build Process?

[acoustic birch]

when you use intellij it compiles all you classes

using Java MainClass will NOT compile your class

[frank mango]

But I think I can run the class directly, doesn't matter gradle or not

[acoustic birch]

can you share your project structure?

[frank mango]

java path/to/MainClass.java

[frank mango]

What structure specifically

[acoustic birch]

like the whole project directory.

[frank mango]

Okay wait

It's not a production project, just a project that I do fun projects on like AI projects, algorithm visualizers, etc. so I will just show you the class that I want to run in the terminal

[acoustic birch]

if java path/to/MainClass.java works for you its okay but to be sure this will not compile your code it will run your already compiled code.

and i am also not sure if you can use java with a .java file

[frank mango]

It ran with the changes when I did java MainClass.java

Tho I want gradle to run for the dependencies

[acoustic birch]

so replace the command with your gradel command.

[frank mango]

It keeps saying Build Failed

[acoustic birch]

so maybe there is problem with your gradel/project
