Hi, Brooks. I just tried it locally and it’s working without issues, so perhaps(/hopefully) it’s just something in a bad state in your environment. Ultimately IC is just starting the server for you and, when it has started the server, denoting that deploy-on-save should be bypassed. That’s why it’s still deploying when you start the server external to IC.
Can you please have IC start the server for you, then add the following to Help | Diagnostic Tools | Debug Log Settings:
com.illuminatedcloud.intellij.builder.deploy.IlluminatedCloudDeployOnSaveAllActionListenerthen make a change to an LWC file and type Cmd+S, and finally either attach or email the resulting idea.log file for review? That should show what IC is doing during deploy-on-save.
Regards,
Scott Wells
