Actually, the problem seems to be just with launcher (see https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/master/native/MacLauncher/Launcher.m#L478), regardless of ide-probe context etc.:

Reposting from VirtusLab/git-machete-intellij-plugin#1383 (comment):

Okay, the workaround is as follows:

So force using the official resolver, and .dmg extension.

Proper solution TBD, but according to @tpasternak, instead of using the launcher, ide-probe would need to run java using options from product-info.json: both a list of jars, and command line options

[PawelLipski]

Or, see what ide-launcher from JetBrains does (it works on Mac): intellij-ui-test-robot -> README on ide-launcher => oh, it just downloads a dmg intellij-ui-test-robot -> IdeDownloader.kt

[PawelLipski]

But there's a ready implementation using product-info.json in gradle-intellij-plugin -> IntelliJPlatformArgumentProvider.kt

Helpful jq:

jq  '.launch[] | select(.os == "macOS" and .arch == "amd64") | .additionalJvmArguments |= sort_by(.)' < /Users/pawel_lipski/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.jetbrains.intellij.idea/ideaIC/2023.3/6105b81c6142f62379ad6c5afb542c77350a71eb/ideaIC-2023.3/product-info.json
