Where does IntelliJ IDEA keep run/debug configurations?

Intellij IDEA will automatically create a run/debug configuration when you run any item that doesn't have a permanent run/debug configuration already present.



You can then save the run/debug configuration that was generated to make it permanent.



When you save a configuration, where is it saved?

  • As near as I can tell, they're saved in <project_directory>/.idea/workspace.xml.

    And if you mark a configuration as shared, it will be stored in a sub-folder under .idea. That you can use to copy the configuration to another project.

  • @yegodm Thanks - I finally put 2-and-2 together and realized that your comment explains how to make the configurations separate from the workspace.xml file (per Slaw's comment and Sand's answer) so that it will be saved by git into a repo (that file is excluded by the .gitignore files I found for good reason). That's the real problem I was trying to solve!

run/debug configurations for a project are stored in the .idea/workspace.xml file inside the project location. You can see those entries under the <component name="RunManager" node if you search for "RunManager" in that file.
