genIntelliJruns in IDEA doesn't generate debug configurations:SOLVED

[TheGreyGhost]

Howdy folks

I'm just returning to modding after a break (since 1.12.2) and I'm having trouble getting started with the MDK for 1.14.4.

I've imported the project using gradle.build and then executed genIntelliJRuns, and it appears to have worked except that the debug configurations are missing from IDEA's Run menu.

I can run the project using the gradle task runClient, but I can't debug it.

Any clues?

Never mind - I found a solution; I need to right click on the runClient gradle task which gives me the option to debug.

First of all - Big fan, your MBE repo has helped me tons!

Why not go directly to 1.15.2?

I’m not sure what you mean by this but use your run configs instead of the gradle tasks for this exact reason. I’ve got a tutorial for setting up your workspace at https://cadiboo.github.io/tutorials/1.14.4/forge/1.1-importing-project/intellij/

Thanks Cadiboo

>Why not go directly to 1.15.2?

The main reason is that a lot of the changes from 1.12.2 seem to be pretty big and I want to be sure that I don't waste hours debugging problems that turn out to be Forge 1.15.2 Beta issues.  I'm thinking that the update from 1.14.4 to 1.15.2 will be much easier.  But that might be wishful thinking

Yeah I always used to do it that way: gradlew setupDecompWorkspace idea and gradlew genIntelliJruns;  but with 1.14.2 that no longer works, and genIntelliJruns doesn't seem to create any configurations on the Run menu like it used to.  I'm using a pretty old version of IDEA (14!) so that might have something to do with it.

 

I can use the gradle runClient to debug like the Run menu did so I think it should be ok.  I looked at your link (thanks for that) but it didn't generate the configurations how it did for you.

Probably, I know that it works on 18 and 19.

 

If you decide to update to 1.14.4 instead of 1.15.2 just leave rendering alone completely as it changed a lot in 1.15 and it’s not worth rewriting your code twice.

that's sounds ominous {sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when I remember how much effort it took me to figure out rendering, especially for TileEntities}

Yeah I think I will update to 1.14.4 for the basic stuff only and then jump to 1.15.2 when it comes out of beta.  I think it's probably time to retire a few of the "fancier" topics now.  And I've brought myself up to speed on Entities using another project I'm working on so I might add that in as well.  Too many ideas not enough time

 

Thanks for the tip!
