'How to stop IntelliJ truncating output when I run a build?
When I run our build from IntelliJ it pumps out a lot of debugging.
But it gets truncated in the Run console.
Can I make IntelliJ preserve more output?
Or, preferably, all of it?

This can (now) be edited in the Intellij IDEA settings.
This has probably been in Intellij IDEA for a while, and certainly is as of Intellij IDEA 15.

The problem increasing the console cylce buffer size is that you are likely to run out of heap space, and then you will need to bump up the max heap size. For an app that generates a very large amount of output it probably won't help as you will not have enough physical memory.
I would suggest instead that you capture the console output in a file.

With IntelliJ 11 (on the Mac at least), this setting is configured instead in Info.plist:
IDEA_HOME/Contents/Info.plist
There should already be a value there so just modify it instead of adding a new one.

You could use this shortcut
Ctrl + Shift + A
then search "Override console cycle buffer size" to get to the settings.

If you are using saved configurations to start your app, make sure this option is disabled: "Emulate terminal in output console". With this option enabled, the output would be always cut after a few hundred lines. Without it, I think the option described in the other answers is respected.

Accepted answer did not work for me (IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2 Mac). What did work was increasing "Terminal scrollback buffer size" in Preferences/Advanced Settings.

If you picked this option, IDEA also cuts the output.
