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

Question

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

The latest 2020 build doesn t have the shorten command line option by default we need to add that option from the configuration  Run  gt  Edit Configurations  gt  Select the corresponding run configuration and click on Modify options for adding the shorten command-line configuration to the UI   Select the shorten command line option  Now choose jar manifest from the shorten command line option

You can set up a default way to shorten the command line and use it as a template for further configurations by changing the default JUnit Run Debug Configuration template  Then all new Run Debug configuration you create in project will use the same option   Here is the related blog post about configurable command line shortener option
