How to configure "Shorten command line" method for whole project in IntelliJ

When I run tests I get the error "Command line is too long". It works if I set the "Shorten command line" method in the Run/Debug configuration to "JAR manifest" for the specific method or class, but how do I set it for the whole project or is there an IDE global setting for it?


Solution 1:

Inside your .idea folder, change workspace.xml file

Add

<property name="dynamic.classpath" value="true" />

to

  <component name="PropertiesComponent">
.
.
.
  </component>

Example

 <component name="PropertiesComponent">
    <property name="project.structure.last.edited" value="Project" />
    <property name="project.structure.proportion" value="0.0" />
    <property name="project.structure.side.proportion" value="0.0" />
    <property name="settings.editor.selected.configurable" value="preferences.pluginManager" />
    <property name="dynamic.classpath" value="true" />
  </component>

If you don't see one, feel free to add it yourself

 <component name="PropertiesComponent">
    <property name="dynamic.classpath" value="true" />
  </component>

Solution 2:

Intellij 2018.2.5

Run => Edit Configurations => Choose Node on the left hand side => expand Environment => Shorten Command line options => choose Classpath file or JAR manifest
