Reset the IntelliJ Plugin to default settings
If you would like to start the Diffblue Cover IntelliJ plugin from a “clean slate”, the existing plugin settings files should be deleted. The plugin settings files are stored in the user’s IntelliJ profile directory; the default location is dependent on OS and IntelliJ edition and version:
IntelliJ Community Edition:
Windows: %APPDATA%\JetBrains\IdeaC(version)
Linux: ~/.config/JetBrains/IdeaC(version)
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/.IdeaC(version)
IntelliJ Developer Edition:
Windows: %APPDATA%\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea(version)
Linux: ~/.config/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea(version)
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea(version)
Deleting settings
To delete the plugin settings, perform the following steps:
- Close any open sessions of IntelliJ.
- Navigate to the appropriate IntelliJ profile directory (as detailed above).
- Navigate further to the subdirectory:
config/options
- Delete all of these files if they are present:
- CoverAnalyticsInstallationID.xml
- CoverSettingsConfig.xml
- CoverTirIndexes.xml
- coverVersions.xml
- Restart IntelliJ.
