I am following the documentation on creating a Shell script that launches the WebStorm application for a given file folder as described on WebStorm Help page. I am currently using an M1 Pro Macbook (2022) that I just got today and has little else installed beyond Homebrew, VSCode, WebStorm, and PyCharm.

Following the example in the docs, I created a file called webstorm (without any extension) in usr/local/bin and added the following code to it:

#!/bin/sh

open -na "WebStorm.app" --args "$@"

After starting up a new terminal, and running webstorm ., I get the following error in my terminal:

zsh: permission denied: webstorm

I have:

1. Changed sh to zsh as my default shell is zsh, and that made no difference.
2. Checked my permissions for both usr/local/bin and usr/local/bin/webstorm to ensure that I have the correct permissions to execute files from here. When right clicking on the webstorm file and clicking "Get Info", I can see that I currently have read and write permissions.
3. Restarted my computer

To add to my confusion, I have used the same script in the same location on my work Macbook, and it has worked without issues.

Any help on this would be hugely appreciated.

Do you have the "execution" permission?

Try:

$ chmod  x /usr/local/bin/webstorm
