attempting to run a spring-mvc project in intelliJ

Question

I've cloned a spring-mvc project and was hoping to get it running. First time working on a project like this and could use help. I was told, I should be able to run the project and have a test environment on localhost. Instead, I only have an option to debug. I've added spring for Framework support, maybe I need to add something else?

Answer 1

You need to deploy the webapp to a tomcat.

You can check this issue for more info: Intelli tomcatJ

Answer 2

Using the right-click popup menu gives only options to run tests. You have to create a new run configuration using the Run item from the main menu, or the specific run area on the main toolbar.

Answer 3

You need to create a run configuration for your server and configure the webapp to be deployed to it. Spring mvc is meant to be run on a server, and the client is, usually, a browser.
