Windows Async Profiler Error in IntelliJ while trying to run Application with Profiler

Question

I am getting this error "Profiler error: There is no dump file" in the profiler tab while running Application with Windows Async Profiler.

Environment- IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, Java 8

I am new to Profiling and I am just starting to learn. Java Flight Recorder works fine but I'm getting this error for Windows Async Profiler. Any idea why this is happening?

Answer 1

Looks like IDEA-270240, to use Windows async profiler with JDK 8 please try IDEA 2021.3 RC: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/. In 2021.2 please use jdk 9 at least.
