- Under the bin directory of your IntelliJ IDEA installation, use one of the following launchers,
depending on the operating system:
- For Windows:inspect.bat
- For UNIX and Mac:inspect.sh
- Specify command line arguments:
-
Project file path
is the path to the *.ipr file or .idea directory
of the project to be inspected.
- Inspection profile path
is the path to the profile, against which the project
should be inspected. The inspection profiles are stored under USER_HOME\.IntelliJ IDEAXX\config\inspection
-
Output path is the path to the xml file, where the results report will be stored.
-
Options: you can specify the directory to be inspected
-d <directory>
and the verbosity level of output -vX, where X is 0 for quiet,
1 for noisy and 2 for extra noisy.
Examples
Windows
inspect.bat C:\SamplesProjects\MetersToInchesConverter Default.xml results-dir -v2
MacOS
/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app/bin/inspect.sh ~/IdeaProjects/MyTestProject ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJ IDEA/inspection/Default.xml results-dir -v2
- In the command line, type the following:

- <IntelliJ IDEA> is platform-specific product launcher
- <path1>, <path2> are full paths to the files to be compared.
Examples
Windows
IntelliJ IDEA.exe diff C:\SamplesProjects\MetersToInchesConverter\src\javascript\numbers.js C:\SamplesProjects\MetersToInchesConverter\src\coffeescript\numbers.coffee
MacOS
/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/idea diff ~/Documents/file1.txt ~/Documents/file2.txt- In the command line, type the following:
<IntelliJ IDEA> <path1> --line<number> <path1>

- <number> is the number of the line, where the caret should rest
- <path2> is the path to the file to be opened
Examples
Windows
IntelliJ IDEA.exe C:\SamplesProjects\MetersToInchesConverter --line 3 C:\SamplesProjects\MetersToInchesConverter\src\javascript\numbers.js
MacOS
/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app/ ~/IdeaProjects/MyTestProject --line 3 ~/IdeaProjects/MyTestProject/file1.txt
