IntelliJ IDEA Project Settings

Option

Description

Path to the project

Use this field to specify the path to the project file (.ipr) or path to the project directory (root directory of the project that contains .idea folder). This information is required by this build runner to understand the structure of the project.

Detect global libraries and module-based JDK in the *.iml files

If this option is checked, all the module files will be automatically scanned for references to the global libraries and module JDKs when saved. This helps you ensure all references will be properly resolved.

Check/Reparse Project

Click to reparse the project and import build settings right from the IDEA project, for example the list of JDKs.

Working directory

Enter a path to a Build Working Directory, if it differs from the Build Checkout Directory.

Optional, specify if differs from the checkout directory.

Unresolved Project Modules and Path Variables

This section is displayed, when an IntelliJ IDEA module file (.iml) referenced from IPR-file:

  • cannot be found

  • allows you to enter the values of path variables used in the IPR-file.

To refresh values in this section click Check/Reparse Project.

Option

Description

<path_variable_name>

This field appears, if the project file contains path macros, defined in the Path Variables dialog of IntelliJ IDEA's Settings dialog. In the Set value to field, specify a path to project resources, to be used on different build agents.

Project JDKs

This section provides the list of JDKs detected in the project.

Option

Description

JDK Home

Use this field to specify JDK home for the project.

JDK Jar File Patterns

Click this link to open a text area, where you can define templates for the jar files of the project JDK. Use Ant rules to define the jar file patterns. The default value is used for Linux and Windows operating systems:

jre/lib/*.jar

For Mac OS X, use the following lines:

lib/*.jar ../Classes/*.jar

IDEA Home

If your project uses the IDEA JDK, specify the location of IDEA home directory

IDEA Jar Files Patterns

Click this link to open a text area, where you can define templates for the jar files of the IDEA JDK.

Compilation settings

Option

Description

Only compile classes required to build artifacts and execute run configurations

Select whether to compile all classes in the project or only those classes which are required by run configurations or for building artifacts.

Artifacts

Option

Description

Artifacts to Build

Specify here names of the artifacts to be built that are configured in the IntelliJ IDEA project.

Run configurations

Option

Description

Run configurations to execute

Specify here names of IntelliJ IDEA run configurations configured in the project to execute inside TeamCity build. Supported configuration types are: JUnit, TestNG and Application. Note that run configurations specified here should be shared (via "Share" checkbox in IntelliJ IDEA Run/Debug Configurations dialog) and checked in to the version control.

Ant and Build Artifacts tasks specified in the Before launch list of IDEA run configurations are supported.

Test Parameters

  • To learn more about Run recently failed tests first and Run new and modified tests first options, please refer to the Running Risk Group Tests First page.

  • Run affected tests only (dependency based) option will take build changes into account. With this option enabled runner will compute modules affected by current build changes and will execute only those run configurations which depend on affected modules directly or indirectly.

Code Coverage

Specify code coverage options, for the details, refer to IntelliJ IDEA Code Coverage page.
