An error while deploying ear on local websphere in intellij

I’m trying to deploy an ear on WAS using Intellij’s IBM Websphere configuration.

I see the following log:

Configuration is pretty standard, nothing different. Doing this on a windows OS, with WAS version being 8.5.17 and latest version of Intellij.

Edit: When I do a refresh, I see this

So, essentially Intellij is not able to establish connection with the websphere.

Answer

We had exactly the same symptom and we have 2 different solutions for this (tested on 2020.3): Via Windows cmd line: mklink /D Program%20Files “Program Files”

via IntelliJ: Menu Help/Edit Custom VM Options… Add the following VM option and restart IntelliJ: -Didea.dynamic.classpath=true
