Setting up and using environment variables in IntelliJ Idea
It is possible to reference an intellij 'Path Variable' in an intellij 'Run Configuration'.
In 'Path Variables' create a variable for example ANALYTICS_VERSION
.
In a 'Run Configuration' under 'Environment Variables' add for example the following:
ANALYTICS_LOAD_LOCATION=$MAVEN_REPOSITORY$\com\my\company\analytics\$ANALYTICS_VERSION$\bin
To answer the original question you would need to add an APP_HOME
environment variable to your run configuration which references the path variable:
APP_HOME=$APP_HOME$
Path Variables dialog has nothing to do with the environment variables.
Environment variables can be specified in your OS or customized in the Run configuration:
I could not get environment variables to work when IntelliJ Build and run
property was using Gradle. I am not sure what the root cause is, but switching to IntelliJ IDEA
solved the problem. Go to Preferences
-> Build, Execution, Deployment
-> Build Tools
-> Gradle
. Then change Build and run using:
to IntelliJ IDEA
.
If the above answer + restarting the IDE didn't do, try restarting "Jetbrains Toolbox" if you use it, this did it for me
