Provides a way to use IntelliJ run configurations as buttons

Run Configuration as Action plugin

Plugins for Jetbrains IDEs. It's provides a way to use run configurations as buttons on toolbar. Or assign shortcuts to execute specific run configuration.

Plugin is compatible with all major IDEs based on IntelliJ Platform starting from version 2021.1:

• IntelliJ IDEA
• Android Studio
• PhpStorm
• PyCharm
• RubyMine
• CLion
• WebStorm
• AppCode
• Rider
• GoLand

Configuration

To use plugin after installation you should tweak IDE settings.

To add an icon too toolbar go to:

1. File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Menus and Toolbars
2. Choose a toolbar to add a button: Main Toolbar or Navigation Bar Toolbar
3. Click 'Add after' button and choose action in the tree: All actions > Plug-ins > Run Configurations as Action

To assign shortcut go to:

File > Settings > Keymap > Plug-ins > Run Configuration As Action

Generate custom icons

By default, the plugin uses not user-friendly icons. Of course, you can always create an icon by yourself. But developers are lazy (I know). Plugin can help with generating custom icons.

Tools > Create Icon with text

runconfigurationasaction's Issues

The configuration is not triggered by shortcut if it is already assigned to another action

Hello.
Is it possible to improve the functionality?
I need to run the custom configuration when the debug is enabled by Alt+D.
In this case, the shortcut is assigned to the default action to Start Listening for PHP Xdebug Configuration + a custom configuration, but the custom configuration is not triggered (ignored).

Run Configuration - Macro Variable not working

Hey,

really nice plugin!

But one litte thing. I've created a run configration with the following argument:
--standard=PSR12 $FilePathRelativeToProjectRoot$

The keyboard shortcut works but then the macro/variable has always the value from the last run triggered outside your plugin.

Would be nice if you can fix this.

Regards
Marcus

Custom icon disappears again (defaults to the play icon) on restart

i found this issue here #5. having the same issue on pycharm 2023.3 and 2024 EAP with version 2.2 of this plugin. (not sure when it last did persist im afraid)

run as action with icon set

after restarting pycharm

---

awesome plugin! thanks for all the hard work!

Run configurations with underscores character "_" in their names are not shown properly in a "Find Action" list.

All highlighted names on screenshot contain underscores. Some of them are shown properly but some are not. Probably this is an IDE issue or it requires some kind of escaping.

Configurations cannot be run in CLion

In the CLion along with the current "Run Configuration" there is also some kind of state called CMake context (Debug, Release, etc.) Users select it as checkbox in the "Run Configurations" popup. This checkbox is visible when current run configuration is of type C/C++ application and is invisible if any other configuration is selected.

The issue is that if the current configuration is of type CMake and (so CMake context is chosen) - it is impossible to run a regular (non-CMake) configuration as action of this plugin. IDE logs an error Cannot run 'CONF_NAME' on 'Debug'. 'Debug' is a name of chosen CMake context.

And vice versa: if a regular (non-CMake) configuration is selected (so CMake context is reset and hidden), it is only possible to run any regular configurations, but not CMake one. Error in this case is Cannot run 'CONF_NAME on '<default>'

So to make this cool and helpful plugin to work properly on CLion, it have somehow RESET CMake context before run any regular configuration and SET CMake context (to previously selected or first) when user wants to run CMake configuration.

Action disappears from menu

I see that this issue tracker is not used very often since this is first post here but let this be the first issue then.

AND I do understand that this issue is probably something that can not be fixed in the plugin side but if someone has general other solution that would be fine as well!

I run several "configurations" and have assigned shortcut key to one of them with this plugin. When I run other configurations (like run Junit tests from several file) IntelliJ Idea keeps adding those to the top of the list and removes the "old" ones. And by old I mean stuff that I use daily. And for some reason IntelliJ Idea keeps adding some other unnecessary things to the list that I have never even called (like "Cover xxxxxx" or "Profile xxxxxx" or "Debug xxxxxx"). And finally the configuration that I have added the shortcut key for disappears from the list and the shortcut stops working. BUT if I run that same configuration manually then the Configuration AND the shortcut for it appears again to the list and I can use it again!

Very annoying and, as I said, this may be IntelliJ Idea specific but maybe there is an answer here?

Custom order

Would it be possible to implement custom order of actions?

Such option would make this plugin super cool.

Support Compound configuration

Very nice plugin!

In IntelliJ IDEA 2023.1.1 I tried to use a Compound configuration. I have many run configuration in one project, and by having e.g. Action1 as an alias to the run configuration I am working with would be nice. Is it possible to implement?

Looks like we should just remember all generated actions for each project.

Action that builds a specific configuration

Hello! I installed this plugin and I now have new actions to Run, Debug, or Profile each of my configurations. However, there is no action to Build a configuration. Can we include a Build action please?

Custom toolbar action needs 'Edit icon' again and again to display it's icon properly

I use a plugin: Run configuration as Action
I created a custom action wich is displayed on the main toolbar after the folder 'Toolbar run action'.
The custom action's goal to run one of my project gradle task. When I added the action I selected an icon file.
After the creation Idea displays the icon correctly but when I restart it it does not displays the given icon but some kind of placeholder. My attachment shows this case.
If I refresh the icon by using 'Customize Menus and Toolbars...' and 'Edit icon' Idea displays the toolbar action correctly again until the next restart.

There has been such Idea version where restart did not imply the need for the procedure written above. Unfortunately I did not remember which was it.

I reported this issue to JetBrains. They think that the problem is with the plugin.

Run in cmd Main is it an external tool?
I need this function , can you tell me how to configure it? thank you!
