UI Testing with Starter, failed with PC IDE

IntelliJ Platform
1

When I use IdeProductProvider.PC for UI Testing. It fails with following message. Looks like for PC type, it installs a PY IDE instead.

```
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Product code PY must be the same as PC. IDE: IDE{PY, 252.23892.439, Linux, home=myproject/out/ide-tests/cache/builds/PC-252.23892.439} .

Since 2025.2 there are no builds of PC products anymore and only PY exists

So you have to build and test with PY instead
