Run/Debug Configuration: Dart Test

Test Mode

From this list, choose the scope of tests to run. The available options are:

• All in File: choose this option to have PyCharm run all the tests in a file.

• All in Folder: choose this option to have PyCharm run all the tests from the files in a folder.

• Group or test by name: choose this option to have PyCharm run a specific test or a group of tests.

Depending on the chosen test scope, specify the path to the test file, test folder, or the name of the test or test group.

Test runner options

In this area, specify additional test runner command-line options. For example, to run tests in Chrome, type -p Chrome, see Restricting Tests to Certain Platforms for details.

VM options

In this field, specify the options to launch the Dart Virtual Machine with.

Environment Variables

In this field, optionally specify the environment variables for your Dart application. Click to open the Environment Variables dialog, where you can create variables and specify their values. You can also copy and paste the contents of the field without opening the Environment Variables dialog.

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, PyCharm 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 PyCharm 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.
