IntelliJ Docker terminal does not accept input anymore

Suddenly my Docker terminals stopped to accept keyboard input.

  • the cursor in the terminal is blinking, but id does not accept any input
  • even pasting text via mouse does not work (i.e. copy text, right-click in terminal, select Paste)

I've tried the following (nothing worked):

  • restart IntelliJ
  • delete the image/container
  • try other containers
  • use Attach, exec /bin/sh, Create terminal
  • restart the PC
  • all IntelliJ repair options

Notes:

  • input in other IntelliJ windows works normally
  • when I use Open in terminal from Docker-desktop, it opens a terminal with /bin/sh and the input works
  • IntelliJ IDEA 2022.1.3 (Ultimate Edition)

Any ideas?

Solution

  • Update 28.7.2022

    The issue IDEA-297446 is fixed in IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2

    Original

    I've tested this on another PC and the issue seems to be related to the Docker Desktop version

    • it worked with Docker Desktop 4.9.0
    • after upgrading to 4.10.1 the IntelliJ Terminal does not accept user-input anymore

    see IDEA-297446

    Workaround for now is to use Docker Desktop CLI: enter image description here
