Run/Debug Configuration: Dart Command Line App
In this dialog, create a configuration for running and debugging Dart code executed by Dart VM.
This page describes the configuration-specific items as well as options that are common for all run/debug configurations. To learn how to use this configuration, see Debugging a Dart command-line application locally.
Dart Command Line Application-specific configuration settings
Dart file | In this field, specify the Dart file to start the application from. The file must contain a |
VM options | In this field, specify the options to launch the Dart Virtual Machine with. |

Common settings
When you edit a run configuration (but not a run configuration template), you can specify the following options:
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, PhpStorm 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 PhpStorm 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 project as well as adjust default configurations templates.
