IntelliJ does not prompt for target pod and reports "mirrord was cancelled"

Bug Description

When I run mirrord without specifying a target pod, I expect to be prompted via the pod selection widget. No widget shows up and instead I am seeing an IntelliJ error message saying "mirrord was cancelled"

Steps to Reproduce

mirrord 3.56.3
Intellij Ultimate 2023.2.5
MacOS Sonoma
Java application using VM 17.0.3-zulu

dup with #97 - just to clarify, issue is that we don't display relevant warning that user needs to set target.

Hey, I can't reproduce it with same configuration. Would you up to do a screen share session so we can investigate better?
If so, please schedule time here - https://calendly.com/aviram-5/30min or ping me on Discord.

I have the same issue.
IntelliJ IDEA 2023.1.5
MacBook Pro - Ventura 13.4

Was able to manually configure with a mirrord.json though

hi @Dill-Dall did you specify the target in the mirrord.json and it worked?

[Dill-Dall]

@infiniteregrets
yup, following worked like a charm

{
    "target": {
        "path": {
            "pod": "di-spring-boot-starter-5c478ff597-c99pg"
        },
        "namespace": "di-spring-boot-starter"
    },
    "feature": {
        "network": {
            "incoming": {
                "mode": "steal",
                "http_filter": {
                    "header_filter": "X-Playground: thomas"
                }
            },
            "outgoing": true
        },
        "fs" : "read",
        "env" : true
    }

}

@Dill-Dall did you get a notification that mirrord cannot display the target selection dialog box along with "mirrord was cancelled"?

[Dill-Dall]

@infiniteregrets correct
'mirrord was cancelled'
and the error
'mirrord plugin was unable to display the target selection dialog. You can set it manually in the configuration file /Users//git/com.github//di-spring-boot-starter/.mirrord/mirrord.json.

Thanks for the info! I believe that's expected behavior because we want the user to know the alternative solution, however, as the issue points they did not see any helpful message (:

Based on feedback we got from JetBrains, solving this issue would require a massive change in our plugin. We currently extend RunConfigurationExtension endpoint, which is not meant to show any UI. We should be extending BeforeRunTaskProvider, which has a very different interface and imposes a different flow.

Also, since this issue was opened, we've added a warning that asks the user to fill target in the mirrord config.
