Create Command-line Launcher Intellij not found

Question

I would like to use

idea pom.xml

from command line to launch a simple Maven project, and so I think I need to configure using "Create Command-line Launcher" the script path, but I cannot find it in Intellij Ultimate, if I search it in File / Settings I can find it, but then if I add a keyboard shortcut it doesn't work.

Could someone help me?

Thank you

Answer 1

For Mac OS with +2019 Intellij:

1. You'll need JetBrains ToolBox
2. Turn on Generate shell scripts (no longer in tools > create command line launcher)
3. Set path to /usr/local/bin/
4. Delete your old executable in /usr/local/bin/
5. Quit and re-launch toolbox

Answer 2

As I said in the comments of the question.

At least when using Idea Community 2019.1 EAP + Jetbrains Toolbox, even in Linux that option is disabled.

You must access the Jetbrains Toolbox->settings (the gear next to the 'Log in' button), there will be a "Generate shell scripts" option and location to set. Set a location that you can access without sudo, and put that location on your PATH or copy the generated script to a path like /usr/local/bin.

I needed that to be able to use kscript --idea xxxx.kts (putting this here so that the next person googling that finds the answer :) )
