IntelliJ: BUGFIX: Fix launcher script execution

[cyrusbuilt]

Observation: When launching IntelliJ, "idea.sh" appears in the DeskBar. The 'bash' process executes and immediately pegs a core at 100%, and remains that way indefinitely. The JVM never executes and therefore, IntelliJ never launches.

Manually executing the launcher script ('idea.sh') from the Terminal succeeds. It appears (as discussed with @augiedoggie) the launcher script doesn't like being executed via a symlink in Tracker/DeskBar.

This PR modifies the execution to launch background which seems to work fine. This same issue also applies to PyCharm (I intend to open a separate PR for that). This is not an ideal solution, but is at least one that seems to work fine. Certainly open to suggestions if anyone has a better idea.

This rings a bell, but can't remember where/when.
I see in ancestris the following is used:
exec \$(dirname \$(readlink -f \$0))/bin/ancestris

[cyrusbuilt]

@korli I'll try that

@korli I tried this and honestly expected it to work. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't. However, it doesn't actually launch. Not sure what is happening, but with this change what I see happening now is basicallly nothing. It no longer launches a bash process which pegs a core at 100%, it just seems like it immediately terminates instead. I tried the following:

exec \$(dirname \$(readlink -f \$0))/bin/idea.sh

Which doesn't seem to work. So I added the following just above that line for debug purposes which of course had no effect, but I then ran it from the terminal to see if any errors were being generated (or a bad path):

set -x
echo \$(dirname \$(readlink -f \$0))/bin/idea.sh

And the output was:

Welcome to the Haiku shell.

+ export PATH=/packages/openjdk17-17.0.7.3-2/.self/lib/openjdk17/bin:.:/boot/home/config/non-packaged/bin:/boot/home/config/bin:/boot/system/non-packaged/bin:/bin:/boot/system/apps:/boot/system/preferences
+ PATH=/packages/openjdk17-17.0.7.3-2/.self/lib/openjdk17/bin:.:/boot/home/config/non-packaged/bin:/boot/home/config/bin:/boot/system/non-packaged/bin:/bin:/boot/system/apps:/boot/system/preferences
+++ readlink -f ./idea.sh
++ dirname /boot/system/apps/idea/idea.sh
+ echo /boot/system/apps/idea/bin/idea.sh
/boot/system/apps/idea/bin/idea.sh
+++ readlink -f ./idea.sh
++ dirname /boot/system/apps/idea/idea.sh
+ exec /boot/system/apps/idea/bin/idea.sh

The rest is output from the JVM as the app launches. The background exec method is still working. But for reasons I don't understand, this method is not. Thoughts?

[korli]

I've no better idea than your fix ATM.

[cyrusbuilt]

@korli Fair enough. I discarded my changes and I'll leave this PR as-is. This same fix is working for PyCharm too, so I'll get a PR opened for that shortly. Thanks!

[Begasus]

Newer version is available according to Repology, 2023.3.6, maybe bump it while you are at it? :)

[cyrusbuilt]

@Begasus I'll certainly give it a shot!

[cyrusbuilt]

@Begasus Done. Works well so far!
