Error running 'Angular Application'
# <- the name of the Debug Profile might be named differently in your case
Could not initialize class com.intellij.javascript.debugger.console.jcef.JCE
As a workaround, you can disable the JCEF component by adding ide.browser.jcef.enabled=false in Help | Edit Custom Properties. Then restart the IDE.
This is the advice the superb JetBrains support was giving in no time after issuing the support ticket.
The workaround has been verified on:
CentOS 7
WebStorm 2022.1.2
Since I have not found the advice anywhere on the Internet, or JetBrain’s pages, I have decided to post the information here. If you find a more official page, please send us a message and we will link to it.
I hope it helps.
Alternative: use vocon’s WebStorm Cloud Desktop Service
