Run/Debug Configuration: Gradle Native Application

Name

Specify a name for the run/debug configuration to quickly identify it when editing or running the configuration, for example, from the Run popup Alt+Shift+F10.

Allow parallel run

Select to 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, CLion suggests to stop the running instance and start another one. This is helpful when a run/debug 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 CLion stores run configuration settings in .idea/workspace.xml.

Specify the executable for your configuration.

In this field, type a list of arguments to be passed to the program in the format you would use in the command line. If necessary, click the button and type the desired arguments.

Click to open the Macros dialog. You can also use path variables in this field.

Specify the working directory to be used for running the application. This directory is the starting point for all relative input and output paths. By default, the field contains the directory where the project file resides. To specify another directory, click and select the directory.

Click to open the Macros dialog. You can also use path variables in this field.

Specify a file to read the input from. Relative paths are prepended with the Working directory path.

Macros () and path variables are also available in this field.

tip

If you want CLion to ask you to choose a file input every time you run the application, use the $FilePrompt$ macro, which invokes the file selection dialog on every launch.
