Troubleshooting

Cannot install extension, "Download was not a CRX"

This is the Google Chrome bug.

I see the message "Internal HTTP server disabled. Cannot start internal HTTP server. Git integration, JavaScript debugger and LiveEdit may operate with errors...."

IDE failed to bind to the port 63342. Please check your firewall settings and restart the IDE.

I see the message in Chrome log: "System latest connected to 126.XXX (127.0.0.1:63342)", but LiveEdit is not working

Probable reason: there is another instance of JetBrains IDE running so port 63342 is already bound. Please check that product name corresponds to your IDE (where "XXX" stands for the build number, e.g. "126.159").

How to enable logging in Google Chrome

Mac OS X: open -a "Google Chrome" --args --enable-logging --v1

How do I know what's wrong?

  1. Open chrome://extensions/
  2. Check "Developer mode" checkbox
  3. Scroll down to JetBrains IDE Support section, click Inspect views: _generated_background_page.html
  4. Click on the "Console" button

Alternatively, you can enable logging via the command line.
