Is there path macros in IntelliJ IDEA that points to project directory ? (IDEA 10.5.2)

Question

Is there path macros in IntelliJ IDEA that points to project directory ?

In build 10.5.2 that I have

${PROJECT_DIR}

is null.

Thanks!

Solution

Some fields in IDEA run/debug configuration indeed accept ${PROJECT_DIR} and ${MODULE_DIR} variables, for example the working directory field, however it's not available in all the fields, like in your case when you want to pass a parameter to the GWT compiler.

There is already an open issue related to your request, but you can file another one if you want.

Thanks. That's sad. Any ideas in what version in might be fixed ?

@CrazyCoder, when I record a macro, such as right click on a directory/module, it doesn't record that selection, so the activation of the macro happens on whatever happens to be active later on. Relevant: stackoverflow.com/questions/41076187/…

@CrazyCoder Is there a way to record teh selection of a project before?
