IDEA integration problem

[bluestreak]

I have IDEA 12.1.1 and YourKit 2013 build 13066 64Bit. I've done IDE integration from YourKit but when I try to profile application from IDEA i get this error message:

Error running EventLogger: No valid YourKit Java Profiler plugin configuration settings are found: file C:\Users\43847466\.yjp\ide.txt is missing or is obsolete To solve the problem: 1) Launch YourKit Java Profiler 2) Run "Tools | Integrate with IDE...

Any pointers how to resolve this?

Are you running IDEA and the profiler under the same user, in particular, NOT as an administrator?

Is 43847466 your normal user name and C:\Users\43847466 your user home?

[bluestreak]

Both run as the same user, 43847466 is the name of the user.

System has privileged guard, i tried running both IDEA and profiler with and without privileged guard to same effect.

Home is a bit ambiguous. User home is C:\Users\43847466 but system has these env variables set:

HOMEDRIVE
HOMEPATH
HOMESHARE

pointing elsewhere.

Can i create ide.txt manually?

[Anton Katilin]

Please instead create the environment variable YOURKIT_HOME pointing to the directory with YourKit files.

It can be under your actual home directory, e.g. C:\Users\43847466\YourKit. Please ensure it's on a local disk, not network, for best performance.

Let it be a system variable, it should be visible to IDEA and YourKit.

Please ensure neither of them is running after setting the variable, then start the profiler and re-run the integration wizard.

Thank you Anton, this variable did the trick. Everything works perfectly now.
