This is what I got and after that I ran: npx cap open android

Got: [info] Opening Android project at /Users//projects/private/growbox/android

And nothing happening. I have emulator running and everything properly installed and I'm using IntelliJ Ultimate latest

Capacitor open command try to open Android Studio, if you use IntelliJ, you'll have to open it manually.

There is a feature request for opening different IDEs https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/3242
