Run/Debug Configuration: Protractor

In most cases, GoLand detects the project default interpreter and fills in the field itself. You can also choose another configured local interpreter or click and configure a new one.

• To define a new variable, click and specify the variable name and value.

• To discard a variable definition, select it in the list and click .

• Click OK, when ready

The definitions of variables are displayed in the Environment variables read-only field with semicolons as separators, for example:

• NODE_PATH: A : -separated list of directories prefixed to the module search path.

• NODE_MODULE_CONTEXTS: Set to 1 to load modules in their own global contexts.

• NODE_DISABLE_COLORS: Set to 1 to disable colors in the REPL.

In this area, specify the tests to be executed. The available options are:

• All tests: choose this option to run all the tests from the protractor.conf.js configuration file.

• Test file: choose this option to run only the tests from one file and specify the path to this file in the Test file field.

• Suite: choose this option to run individual suites from a test file and specify the path to this file in the Test file field. Click in the Suite name field and configure a list of suites to run using the and buttons.

• Test: choose this option to run individual tests from a test file and specify the path to this file in the Test file field. Click in the Test name field and configure a list of tests to run using the and buttons.

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.

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 GoLand stores run configuration settings in .idea/workspace.xml.

Move the selected run/debug configuration up and down in the list.

The order of configurations in the list defines the order, in which the configurations appear when you choose a run/debug configuration.

Default templates of run/debug configurations are always sorted alphabetically.

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 icon to add one of the following available tasks:

• Run External tool: select to run an external application. In the dialog that opens, select one or multiple applications you want to run. If it is not defined in GoLand yet, add its definition.

• Compile TypeScript: select to run the built-in TypeScript compiler and thus make sure that all the changes you made to your TypeScript code are reflected in the generated JavaScript files. In the TypeScript Compile Settings dialog that opens, select or clear the Check errors checkbox to configure the behaviour of the compiler in case any errors are detected:

  • If the Check errors checkbox is selected, the compiler will show all the errors and the run configuration will not start.

  • If the Check errors checkbox is cleared, the compiler will show all the detected errors but the run configuration still will be launched.

• Go Command: select to run a Go command before running your program. For example, you can run go generate to generate source code before compilation. In the Edit Go Command Task dialog, you can use auto-completion. Auto-completion supports the following commands generate, vet, test -i. You can use your own commands.

• Run Remote External tool: adds a remote SSH external tool.

By default this checkbox is selected and the Run or the Debug tool window opens when you start the run/debug configuration.

Otherwise, if the checkbox is cleared, the tool window is hidden. However, when the configuration is running, you can open the corresponding tool window for it yourself by pressing Alt+4 or Alt+5.
