Run/Debug configuration: XSLT

Input

Use the controls in this area to specify the XML file to process and the script to be executed.

• XSLT Script File - in this text box, specify the path to the XSLT Style Sheet file. Type the path manually or click Browse and select the desired file in the Choose XSLT File dialog box, that opens.

• Choose XML Input File - from this drop-down list, select the XML input file to be transformed. The list contains all the XML files that have been associated with the chosen Style Sheet via the File Associations functionality. To specify a file, which is not on the list, click Browse and select the desired file in the Choose XML File dialog box, that opens.

Output

Use the controls in this area to configure handling of the script output.

• Show in Default Console - select this option to have the output displayed in the normal run console, together with any warnings and error messages from the XSLT transformer, as well as messages generated by the script, e.g. by xsl:message.

• Show in Extra Console Tab - select this option to have the produced output displayed in an extra, XSLT Output, tab.

  This option is selected by default.

• Highlight Output As - select the file type to highlight the output as.

• Save to File - select this option to have the output saved directly to a file. In the text box, specify the name of the target file. Type the path to the file manually or click Browse and select the desired file in the Choose Output File dialog box, that opens. If you type the name of a file that does not exist, IntelliJ IDEA will create a file and save the output to it.

  • Open File in Editor After Execution - select this checkbox to have the file with the output opened in the editor after the script is executed successfully.

  • Open File in Web Browser After Execution - select this checkbox to have the file with the output opened in the configured Web browser after the script is executed successfully.

Parameters

Use the controls in this area to create and manage a list of parameters to be passed to the script.

• Add - click this button to create a new entry.

• Remove - click this button to remove the selected entry from the list.

• Name - in this text box, specify the name of the parameter.

• Value - in this text box, specify the value of the parameter.

Smart Error Handling

• Clear this checkbox to have the console display full error messages including their complete stack traces, when an error occurs during execution.

• Select this checkbox to suppress showing staktraces and have the console display only the relevant information about errors.

VM Arguments

In this text box, specify optional VM arguments to be passed to the VM where the XSLT script is executed. These can be heap size, garbage collection options, file encoding, etc. If the line of VM arguments is too long, click to expand the textbox and type the text there.

Working Directory

In this text box, specify the working directory to use. Type the path manually or click Browse and select the desired folder in the Working Directory dialog box, that opens.

If no folder is specified in text box, the working directory will be the one where the XSLT script file is located.

Classpath and JDK

In this area, specify the environment to run the script in. By default, it is the module the XSLT file belongs to.

• From Module - select this option to execute the script in a specific module. From this drop-down list, select the desired module.

• Use JDK - select this option to choose the JDK without including anything module- or project-related into the classpath.

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, IntelliJ IDEA 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 IntelliJ IDEA stores run configuration settings in .idea/workspace.xml.

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.

Alt+Insert

Click this icon to add one of the following available tasks:

  If an error occurs during compilation, IntelliJ IDEA won't attempt to start the run/debug configuration.

• Build Project: select to compile the entire project. The Build Project command will be executed.

  If an error occurs during compilation, IntelliJ IDEA won't attempt to start the run/debug configuration.

• Build, no error check: the same as the Build option, but IntelliJ IDEA will try to start the run/debug configuration irrespective of the compilation results.

• Build Artifacts: select this option to build an artifact or artifacts. In the dialog that opens, select the artifact or artifacts that should be built.

• Launch Web Browser: select this option to have a browser started. In the dialog that opens, select the type of the browser and provide the start URL. Also, specify if you want the browser be launched with JavaScript debugger.
