Intellij Windows Terminal as terminal (in ide)

Issue

I use WSL with Ubuntu 18.04.

In Intellij i want to change terminal to Windows Terminal (or Ubuntu Terminal), but when I add wt.exe as shell path (File -> Settings -> Tools -> Terminal), ide returns new window with Windows Terminal (not on the bottom of ide).

I also used Windows Terminal.exe path, but it doesn’t work.

C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe/wt.exe

Solution

You can’t use GUI app as the terminal shell in IntelliJ IDEA, use the command line app like cmd.exe, powershell.exe or c:\Windows\System32\bash.exe.
