Use path to an executable as an argument for a runner in CLion

I have a CMake project in CLion. I am able to build my executable hello.

Now I want to run it inside CLion with a custom runner mpirun (it is an MPI project).

Bash command should look like: mpirun -n 5 path_to_hello_executabe/hello

How can I obtain this path_to_hello_executabe inside CLion configuration?

In CMake it looks like add_custom_target(run $ENV{MPIRUN} -n 5 $<TARGET_FILE:hello>), so what I need is an equivalent for $<TARGET_FILE:hello>.

  1. Configure build output path in Build, Execution, Deployment | CMake settings. So you know the path_to_hello_executabe now.
  2. Add custom command in your CMake that will be executed during build. Then build the corresponding configuration in CLion. Your command will be called then.

That's not possible for now in CLion, since CLion's configurations can't run a command from add_custom_target cmake command. However this looks like an interesting use case and a nice feature to have: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-5831
