While running automated tests for my plugin using the IntelliJ version **2025.3.3** , I am encountering a popup that prevents the tests from running successfully.

 ![Screenshot 2026-03-11 at 12.01.07 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/jetbrains_platform/original/2X/8/8669c3d1a0174b4a360a7def507afcddb375d12b.jpeg)

Is there a way to disable this popup during test execution?

How do you setup tests? What kind of library do you use to start IDE under test?

We use the **IntelliJ Remote Robot** framework to run the UI tests. The project uses the **IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin** (`org.jetbrains.intellij.platform` version `2.10.2` ) to start the IDE under test.

I see, we no longer use it. Normally, our current test harness passes `-Didea.is.integration.test=true` VM Option to suppress non-deterministic behaviors. It should work for this dialog too
