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

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.

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

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 commented 1 month ago

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".
