I’m using a Kotlin-based Gradle script with the intellij section defined as

```auto
intellij {
    localPath.set("/Applications/Rider.app/Contents")
    downloadSources.set(false)
}

```

When calling runIde I get the following:

```auto

I think you are seeing a problem fixed by [this commit](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-platform-gradle-plugin/commit/ab87fb53baac12b7bf1d2e7178653ccc2ddca412).

Could you please try updating to the latest version of the intellij-platform-gradle-plugin and see if that helps.
