Problem setting up IntelliJ with the TMC plugin

[alexthi...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm having problems with running the local test on my IntelliJ install. Thus I always have to upload to server which takes a while. I hope someone has an answer for me. I tried installing JDK8 and using that instead but didnt help.

Error message when I press the test button:

Test Error Window

Hello, I am having the same error. Is there any solution?

[Tracy Karjala]

Open up a command prompt on your PC. Run 'java -version' without the single quotes. It should return something like this:

java version "1.8.0_151"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-b12)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode)

If not java isn't in your system path.  My guess is you probably can't right click on a source file and select build and have it success fully compile either.

In the command prompt window type 'set' without the single quotes and look for these variables:

JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151 (or something similar depending on version and where you installed java. Intellij needs this to be set)

and

Path=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;....

If those two variables aren't set you'll see issues.

Also, check Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Java Compiler in Intellij and make sure Use Compiler is set to javac and the version is 1.8 (or whichever java version you're using)

Thanks Tracy,

If those variables aren't set, how does one resolve?

I have the correct java version returned but the only java variable found when typing 'set' is:  

Path=C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts;...;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151\bin

I have no problem compiling only running the test.

Very thankful for any help I can get!

I ran into this same problem.

See this article: https://javatutorial.net/set-java-home-windows-10

It will show how to set the environment variables for the Java compiler. You will have to restart IntelliJ and the command prompt afterwards, but then it will work.

Hope this helps!
