Cannot open IntelliJ as a External Diff in SourceTree

[yueyingcui]

Hello,

I try to setup IntelliJ as my External Diff in Source Tree, but I failed.

In Tools -> Options -> Diff:

External Diff Tool: Custom

Diff Command: the path to the idea.exe file in IntelliJ

Arguments: diff $ LCOAL $REMOTE

When I right click the file need to merge the conflics, there is a window disappeared very quickly.

Would anyone please give me some suggestions? Thank you very much!

I found this but still can't get it working. IJ seems to close without opening the merge window. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14774053/intellij-diff-tool-in-sourcetree

You will need to use a launcher script:
