IntelliJ 2019.2 Services tool window missing

Question

I just updated to IntelliJ 2019.2 but I can't find the new Services tool window (described here). Neither View - Tool Windows - Services nor Alt + 8 is showing it. What am I missing?

Additional Information:

IntelliJ IDEA 2019.2 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-192.5728.98, built on July 23, 2019 Runtime version: 11.0.3+12-b304.10 amd64 VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o Windows 7 6.1

Answer 1

The tool window automatically pops up when you run something related to a managed service (for example, run a Docker container). However, in case of run/debug configurations, you have to specify which types you want to be available in the Services tool window. For this, go to Run | Edit Configurations, select Templates, and add necessary configuration types to the Configurations available in Services list: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2019/08/services-tool-window-one-place-to-rule-them-all/
