In IntelliJ IDEA, how can I create a key binding that executes a shell script with the current file as a parameter?
For exanmple, if I am in a test file (entity.spec.js), I want to save and hit a key binding to trigger a shell script with that file as the parameter:
./run_test.sh /full/path/to/entity.spec.js
Any idea how to do that?
You can do it using the External Tools. Then you can assign a keyboard shortcut to your tool in Settings
| Keymap
.
Please note that you should specify your shell interpreter as a Program for the external tool (such as /bin/bash
) and pass your script path and the file name as Parameters.
Use Insert Macro button to add a macro for the current editor file path.
