Running ZAP from Intellij IDE

[Swapnil Deshpande]

Hi all,

I am trying to build and run zap as is after pulling from GItHub in Idea IntelliJ. I followed the instructions at https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy/wiki/HowToBuildZapWithIntellij and I am able to build ZAP successfully. However when I try to run it from the run menu I am getting an error. I have set the artifact output to the 'src' directory as follows:

and my 'run configuration' is as follows:

​
​when I build artifacts using the IDE, I get a jar file in the src directory but when I run it I get error as follows:

Defaulting ZAP install dir to /Users/swapnil/IdeaProjects/zaproxy/bin/

Warning: failed to load jar files from /Users/swapnil/IdeaProjects/zaproxy/bin/lib

I am not sure what's going wrong as the config.xml file is right there in the xml/ directory. Can anyone pplease help me with running it?

Hi.

That is/was caused by a bug in ZAP :/

Please update your local repo and give it another try.

Note that the artifact is not necessary to run ZAP.

Best regards.

Not sure what the problem is with IntelliJ. I used Eclipse and it ran out of the box with those instruction. Thanks!

Hi.

That issue (i.e. missing config.xml) should no longer happen in IntelliJ
IDEA.
Wasn't it working after updating your local repo?

Best regards.
