Run/Debug Configuration: Standalone Player
Create:
Use this configuration for Standalone Player and Unity Editor (in some rare cases like running batchMode).
Exe path: | Specify the path to the game executable. Alternatively, you can run one more Unity Editor instance. To do so, you need to specify the path to the Unity Editor executable instead of the game. |
Program arguments: | Arguments that will be passed to the executable when the configuration is started. Multiple arguments should be separated with whitespaces. |
Working directory: | The working directory is automatically set to the bin/debug path of the selected target project, but you can change it if needed. |
Environmental variables: | Here you can specify custom environment variables for the target executable. |
.NET runtime arguments: | Both dotnet and Mono support setting custom runtime arguments when launching an application. For example Mono supports many runtime arguments to customize how your application is run. You can select the garbage collector to be used ( |
Use mono runtime | If you are working on Windows, you can check how your application works with the mono runtime. JetBrains Rider will use the mono executable specified on the page of JetBrains Rider settings Ctrl+Alt+S.To debug with mono runtime, you need:
|
Use external console: | By default, the output of .NET and Mono applications is shown in the Run or Debug window. Use this checkbox to show the output in an external window. This checkbox does not affect classic .NET application types (for example, .NET Console Application) — their output in always shown in an external window. |
Common settings
When you edit a run configuration (but not a run configuration template), you can specify the following options:
Item | Description |
---|---|
Name | Specify a name for the run configuration to quickly identify it among others when editing or running. |
Allow multiple instances | Allow running multiple instances of this run configuration in parallel. By default, it is disabled, and when you start this configuration while another instance is still running, JetBrains Rider suggests stopping the running instance and starting another one. This is helpful when a run configuration consumes a lot of resources and there is no good reason to run multiple instances. |
Store as project file | Save the file with the run configuration settings to share it with other team members. The default location is .idea/runConfigurations. However, if you do not want to share the .idea directory, you can save the configuration to any other directory within the project. By default, it is disabled, and JetBrains Rider stores run configuration settings in .idea/workspace.xml. |
Toolbar
The tree view of run/debug configurations has a toolbar that helps you manage configurations available in your solution as well as adjust default configurations templates.
Item | Shortcut | Description |
---|---|---|
Alt+Insert | Create a run/debug configuration. | |
Alt+Delete | Delete the selected run/debug configuration. Note that you cannot delete default configurations. | |
Ctrl+D | Create a copy of the selected run/debug configuration. Note that you create copies of default configurations. | |
The button is displayed only when you select a temporary configuration. Click this button to save a temporary configuration as permanent. | ||
Move into new folder / Create new folder. You can group run/debug configurations by placing them into folders. To create a folder, select the configurations within a category, click , and specify the folder name. If only a category is in focus, an empty folder is created. Then, to move a configuration into a folder, between the folders or out of a folder, use drag or and buttons. To remove grouping, select a folder and click . | ||
Click this button to sort configurations in the alphabetical order. |
