Where does IntelliJ IDEA keep run/debug configurations?


Intellij IDEA will automatically create a run/debug configuration when you run any item that doesn't have a permanent run/debug configuration already present.

You can then save the run/debug configuration that was generated to make it permanent.

When you save a configuration, where is it saved?


Solution

  • run/debug configurations for a project are stored in the .idea/workspace.xml file inside the project location. You can see those entries under the <component name="RunManager" node if you search for "RunManager" in that file.
