How do you input command line arguments in IntelliJ IDEA?
Command LineArgumentsIntellij IdeaCommand Line Problem Overview
I usually input command line arguments in Eclipse via run configuration. But I don't know how do achieve the same task in IntelliJ IDEA.
Command Line Solutions
Solution 1 - Command Line
Windows, Linux, some Macs:
ALT+SHIFT+F10, Right, E, Enter, Tab, enter your command line parameters, Enter. ;-)
Mac with "OS X 10.5" key schema:
CTRL+ALT+R, Right, E, Enter, Tab, enter your command line parameters, Enter.
Solution 2 - Command Line
There's an "edit configurations" item on the Run menu, and on the pull-down to the left of the two green "run" and "debug" arrows on the toolbar. In that panel, you create a configuration with the "+" button in the top left, and then you can choose the Class containing main(), add VM parameters and command-line args, specify the working directory and any environment variables.
There are other options there as well: code coverage, logging, build, JRE, etc.
Solution 3 - Command Line
If you are using intellij go to Run > Edit Configurations
menu setting. A dialog box will appear. Now you can add arguments to the Program arguments
input field.
Solution 4 - Command Line
Example I have a class Test:
Then. Go to config to run class Test:
Step 1: Add Application
Step 2:
You can input arguments in the Program Arguments textbox.
Solution 5 - Command Line
We cannot go into Terminal and give in the good old java Classname arg1 arg2 arg3
We'll have to edit the run configuration.
Step 1 : Take the Run menu
Step 2 : Select Edit Configurations
Step 3 : Fill the Program arguments field
After that, the arguments will be inserted to the end of the command that IntelliJ creates whenever you run the program :)
Solution 6 - Command Line
You separate multiple program arguments with spaces. (this was not obvious to me)
Program arguments: Julia 52 Actress
Solution 7 - Command Line
Do this steps :-
Go to Run - Edit Configuration -> Application (on the left of the panel ) -> select the scala application that u want to run -> program argument
Solution 8 - Command Line
On a MacBook Air with "OSX 10.11.3":
- ctrl + alt + r
- e
- Enter
- Program arguments: Write your command line parameters (space between each item if you have more than one argument)
- Enter
Solution 9 - Command Line
Just left click on your current configuration (mine is Main) and select Edit Configurations,
then in the input field Program arguments enter your values as you would in the console, click OK.
Solution 10 - Command Line
maytham-ɯɐɥıλɐɯ, you can use this code to simulate input of file:
System.setIn(new FileInputStream("FILE_NAME"));
Or send file name as parameter and then put it into FileInputStream:
System.setIn(new FileInputStream(args[0]));
Solution 11 - Command Line
Main Program -> Run -> Edit Configurations -> Inside Configuration there is Program arguments text box. add space separated argument in the text box. Then you can read those arguments in the args array (public static void main(String[] args))
Solution 12 - Command Line
In IntelliJ, if you want to pass args parameters to the main method.
go to-> edit configurations
program arguments: 5 10 25
you need to pass the arguments through space separated and click apply and save.
now run the program if you print
System.out.println(args[0]);
System.out.println(args[1]);
System.out.println(args[2]);
Out put is 5 10 25
Solution 13 - Command Line
As @EastOcean said, We can add it by choosing Run/Debug configurations option. In my case, I have to set configuration for junit. So on clicking Edit configurations option, a pop up window is displayed. Then followed the below steps:
- Click on + icon
- Choose junit from the list
- Then we can see Configuration tab in the right hand side
- Select test kind, in my case Its a Class
- Next step browse through the location of the class which needs to be executed/run
- Next to that, choose VM Option, click on expand arrow icons
- Set required arguments for an example (-Durl="http://test.com/home" -Dsourcename="API" -Dbrowsername="chrome")
- Set jre path.
Save and run.
Thank you.

I'm adding an updated answer to this question since IntelliJ IDEA 2021.
-
Select Edit Configuration from the toolbar (or under the Run menu): Picture of new location of edit configuration box
-
You now have to click on the Modify Options menu (Alt + M) to the left of where it says Build and Run, and above the drop down menu that lets you select the version of Java (or other language) that your using.
-
After you click Modify Options the first box you will see--titled Operating System--will have a line that says "Redirect input". Click on that to add the box for input redirection. Close Modify Options.
-
Under Build and Run, the third box down is for command line input.
That's all there is to it.
Solution 16 - Command Line
To do this in IntelliJ IDEA 2020.2.3 (Community edition) on Windows 10:
- ALT-SHIFT-F10
- 0
- [TAB] 7 times
Updated for 11/2020.
Solution 17 - Command Line
It's strange that no one wrote about simply copying "Run" command output into your terminal and adding the arguments.
For example, when I run "Run" command in my Intellij IDEA the output is something like
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -javaagent:/opt/idea-IC-211.7142.45/lib/idea_rt.jar=32887:/opt/idea-IC-211.7142.45/bin -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -classpath /home/aliaksei/Projects/Training/Java/firstTry/out/production/firstTry MyClass
Process finished with exit code 0
And then I simply copy the first line and enter my arguments like:
<THIS_HUGE_LINE> foo bar
Note: remember to build the project before running the command in terminal. Either click "Build" or "Run" first. You can find these options, for example, at the bottom: link to the screenshot
