Server output is client side functionality that not all clients support. SQL*Plus and SQL Developer do, but it's not a given that any other client will.

The SQL*Plus client command set serveroutput on essentially calls the DBMS_OUTPUT.enable() stored procedure on your behalf. Additionally it signals to the client that is should inspect the DBMS_OUTPUT.get_lines() procedure for cached output after each code block is executed.

If DataGrip doesn't do this already, you may be able to manually code the calls to DBMS_OUTPUT.enable() and DBMS_OUTPUT.get_lines() as needed.
