How to activate IDEA's "Run Dashboard" feature
Add the run configurations to the Configurations available in Run Dashboard list in the Edit Run/Debug Configurations dialog under the Defaults (Templates in the current IDE versions) node:
In Spring Boot projects Run Dashboard becomes enabled automatically if you have more than one run/debug configuration of this type.
@CrazyCoder is right, you need to have more than one "Spring boot run/debug configuration". Try to duplicate the one you already have and IntelliJ will automaticaly prompt you to run the dashboard.
I use Idea 2019.3 and this is how I managed to activate it.
- Open Services Tool Window (my shortcut is ALT+8)
- Add your Spring boot application if Idea didn't automatically recognized it.
