How to run and debug AzerothCore using CLion

CLion is a powerful multi-platform IDE that allows to run and debug C++ applications.

I tried to use it with an AzerothCore core project.

It is smart enough to detect all the processes:

Mostly I'm interested in running the worldserver.

However when I try to run or debug it, it correctly compile and runs but it will look for the worldserver.conf.dist configuration file in the directory /usr/local/etc/, giving error because that file is not there.

I would like to manually specify the path of such configuration file, as well as passing other CMake parameters.

I made it work by opening File -> Settings and looking for "CMake" under "Build, Execution, Deployment".

From that window I could pass my CMake options, which in my case where:

-G "Unix Makefiles" -DTOOLS=0 -DSCRIPTS=static -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Werror" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Werror" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/the/main/server/dir

The /path/to/the/main/server/dir is where my etc, data, etc... folders are and the worldserver.config.dist is inside this etc folder. So doing this everything worked fine.

I also changed the "Build options" to better use my processor, passing -j 10.

For macOS users, you'll probably need to add these CMake options as well:

-DMYSQL_ADD_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include
-DMYSQL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib
-DREADLINE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/readline/include
-DREADLINE_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.dylib
-DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
-DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.dylib
-DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.dylib
