"Cannot execute command" popup from IntelliJ when launching Docker Desktop


It seems a bug of Docker Development Environments Preview. The IntelliJ IDEA is opened by this process.

/Applications/Docker.app/Contents/MacOS/com.docker.dev-envs

You can degrade the Docker Desktop to version 3.4.0 to temporarily fix this problem.


What worked for me today:

  • Upgrade to Big Sur (wanted to do that anyway).
  • Remove Intelli-J
  • Uninstall Docker
  • Install Docker 3.6.x
  • Install latest Intelli-J

Problem gone.
