As a mac user, I want to launch IntelliJ using devon CLI so that I can start my work as a developer.

Comments/Hints:

Affected version:

• OS: Mac

[CREITZ25]

Because of if [ "${INTELLIJ_DISABLE_OPEN_WORKSPACE}" = "true" ] intellij will not start if INTELLIJ_DISABLE_OPEN_WORKSPACE is not set to true in devon.properties.

[ndemirca]

The above mentioned workaround of @CREITZ25 requires manuell configuration of SDK for the time being.

[jan-vcapgemini]

It looks like intellij can't be run from the symlink pointing to the idea file. When using open with an absolute path to software/macos/intellij/Intellij IDEA CE.app/Contents/MacOS/idea it works though.

[jan-vcapgemini]

We could now adjust the script to start intellij with the symlink without using open f.e. software/intellij/idea "workspaces/main", but then we need to adjust our intellij settings to set open projects in new window by default.

Or we use open -a or open -na with the absolute path to the Intellij IDEA CE.app/Contents/MacOS/idea file like: open -na /Users/username/Documents/Projects/myproject/software/macOS/intellij/Intellij IDEA CE.app/Contents/MacOS/idea "workspaces/main".

I am getting the same bug on my mac, the workaround mentioned by @jan-vcapgemini is not working for me either. The error I am getting is that InellijJ IDEA CE is damaged and should be deleted.

My Mac is running macOS: 14.2
