Research direction

Start with the linked Run with Configuration wiki page and the issue's reference to commands removed in version 0.14.0. Determine whether selecting a non-default configuration requires a documented workflow or new functionality; the issue is done when a user can choose the alternate configuration for one test run without changing java.test.defaultConfig.

Description

ai-triaged enhancement question test-execution

I have two run configuration defined (they apply different args and environment variables).
I have set java.test.defaultConfig so, by default, one of them is used without asking.
As commands Run With Configuration and Debug With Configuration where removed from version 0.14.0...

How can I specify that, for a test run, I don't want to use de default configuration but the other one?

I couldn't find how to do that at Run with Configuration
