Setting user.dir in run configurations

[mrpiggi]

Hi,

I do have a Java project with some resource XML files which should be validated against each other with XQuery using BaseX. It set everything up like shown in https://docs.basex.org/main/Integrating_IntelliJ_IDEA whereas selecting "Standalone Instance" when configuring the Query Processor Instance.

Running XQuery scripts from terminal with BaseX works just fine but using a IntelliJ Run Configuration unfortunately does not work as expected because somehow user.dir is set to C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2024.2.1\bin and not to the executing directory. This is clearly observable by running the simple query

proc:property('user.dir')

via run configuration.

Is this a known issue? And could user.dir be overwritten somehow as currently passing options is not available? Or is it possible to query the current $PROJECT_ROOT set by IntelliJ to build a valid absolute path?
