I am run my tests with ./gradlew runIdeForUiTests.
My windows build failed due to ERROR: Timed out waiting for the Intellij IDE to start.
The build is success when running with the 2025.3.1.1 version.

Can you please provide more details such as sacktrace and problems report?

Hi @jakub.chrzanowski .
I updated org.jetbrains.intellij.platform to version 2.13.1 and Gradle to 9.4.0, after which some tests started passing. However, I still encountered failures on Linux and macOS with the same error: ERROR: Timed out waiting for the IntelliJ IDE to start.

I then upgraded org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm to version 2.1.0, which resolved the issue and allowed the tests to run successfully.

This was the remote log that corresponds to the initial failure.

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 10.

You can use ‘–warning-mode all’ to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

For more on this, please refer to Command-Line Interface in the Gradle documentation.

Upgrading the Gradle and Kotlin versions seems to resolve the issue and could be the solution. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks
