Run/Debug Configuration: Spring Boot
This page describes controls. For more information on how to work with Spring Boot in IntelliJ IDEA, refer to Spring Boot.
Configuration tab
Main class | Specify the fully qualified name of the class that will be executed (passed to the JRE). |
Environment | |
---|---|
VM options | If necessary, specify the command-line options to be passed to the server JVM at the server start.
|
Program arguments | Specify arguments to be passed to the program in the format that you use in the command line. Use the same rules as for specifying the VM options. |
Working directory | If necessary, specify a directory that will be used by the running application. This directory is the starting point for all relative input and output paths. The project directory is specified by default. |
Environment variables | Click Browse to create variables and specify their values. |
Use classpath of module | Select the module whose classpath will be used to run the application. |
Add dependencies with “provided” scope to classpath | Enable this option to add dependencies with the Provided scope to the runtime classpath. |
JRE | By default, the newest JDK from the module dependencies is used to run applications. You can specify an alternative JDK or JRE. |
Shorten command line | Select a method that will be used to shorten the command line if the classpath gets too long or you have many VM arguments that exceed your OS command line length limitation:
|

Enable debug output | Enables logging of the debug output by adding the |
Hide banner | Hides the Spring Boot startup banner by adding the |
Enable launch optimization | Select this option to speed up application launch. The |
Enable JMX agent | Enables JMX agent that shows application endpoints data by adding the following VM options (requires Spring Boot 1.3.0 or later):
IntelliJ IDEA uses local JMX connector for retrieving Spring Boot actuator endpoint's data. However, it is impossible to get local JMX connector address if Spring Boot application and IntelliJ IDEA JVMs have different bitness and you are using OpenJ9 JDK. In this case, add the following lines to VM options:
|
On 'Update' action | Specify an action that the IDE will do after you click Update <application name> Application:
|
On frame deactivation | Specify an action that the IDE will do after you switch to another application (other than IntelliJ IDEA):
|
Active profiles | Specify active Spring profiles that you want to use in this run/debug configuration. |
Override parameters | Use this table to specify Spring Boot configuration parameters that you want to override. Such parameters are normally defined in configuration files. Listing them in a run/debug configuration allows you to easily switch parameters by modifying the run/debug configuration instead of config files, or have multiple run/debug configurations with different parameter values. |
Code Coverage tab
Use this tab to configure code coverage monitoring options.
Choose coverage runner | Select the desired code coverage runner. By default, IntelliJ IDEA uses its own coverage engine with the Sampling mode. You can also choose JaCoCo or Emma for calculating coverage. |
Sampling | Select this option to measure code coverage with minimal slow-down. |
Tracing | Select this option to collect accurate branch coverage. This mode is available for the IntelliJ IDEA code coverage runner only. |
Track per test coverage | Select this checkbox to detect lines covered by one test and all tests covering line. |
Packages and classes to record code coverage data | Click and select Add Class or Add Package to specify classes and packages to be measured. You can also remove classes and packages from the list by selecting them in the list and clicking . |
Enable coverage in test folders | If this checkbox is selected, folders marked as test are included in the code coverage analysis. |
Logs tab
Use this tab to specify which log files generated while running or debugging must be displayed in the console of the Run/Debug tool window.
Log files to be shown in console | In this table, specify a file or a group of files that will be displayed in the Run/Debug tool window. |
Save console output to file | Save console output to the specified location. |
Show console when a message is printed to standard output stream | Enable the output console and bring it forward if the associated process is writing to Standard.out. |
Show console when a message is printed to standard error stream | Enable the output console and bring it forward if the associated process is writing to Standard.err. |
Before launch options
Use this section to specify which tasks must be carried out before starting the run/debug session. The tasks you specify will be performed in the order that they appear in the list.
Show this page | This option shows the run/debug settings before starting a run/debug session. |
Activate tool window | Select the checkbox to open the Run/Debug tool window once you run the session. |
