Settings

mirrord allows for rich configuration of the environment it provides. The schema for it is documented here. This plugin supports configuration specified in json files.

mirrord reads its configuration from the following locations:

1. Active config can be set for the whole workspace using the Select Active Config button from the dropdown menu. If active config is set, mirrord always uses it.
2. If active config is not set, mirrord searches process environment (specified in run configuration) for MIRRORD_CONFIG_FILE variable.
3. If no config is specified, mirrord looks for a default project config file in the .mirrord directory with a name ending with mirrord.json. If there is no default config file, mirrord uses default configuration values for everything.
4. If there are many candidates for the default config file, mirrord sorts them alphabetically and uses the first one.

You can use the Settings button in the dropdown menu to quickly edit detected configs.
