Plugin for building plugins for IntelliJ IDEs

Geek Repo:Geek Repo

Github PK Tool:Github PK Tool

official JetBrains project Build Status Gradle Plugin Release GitHub Release

gradle-intellij-plugin

The latest version is 0.4.20

This project requires Gradle 4.9 or newer

This plugin allows you to build plugins for IntelliJ Platform using specified IntelliJ SDK and bundled/3rd-party plugins.

The plugin adds extra IntelliJ-specific dependencies, patches processResources tasks to fill some tags (name, version) in plugin.xml with appropriate values, patches compile tasks to instrument code with nullability assertions and forms classes made with IntelliJ GUI Designer and provides some build steps which might be helpful while developing plugins for IntelliJ platform.

Getting started

Here is the manual on how to start developing plugins for IntelliJ Platform using Gradle.

Also, please take a look at the FAQ.

Usage

Gradle

plugins {
  id "org.jetbrains.intellij" version "0.4.20"
}

Snapshot version

Use the following code to get the latest features 
buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
      url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"
    }
    maven { 
      url 'https://dl.bintray.com/jetbrains/intellij-plugin-service' 
    }
    
  }
  dependencies {

  }
}

apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.intellij'

Tasks

Plugin introduces the following tasks

Task Description
buildPlugin Assembles plugin and prepares zip archive for deployment.
patchPluginXml Collects all plugin.xml files in sources and fill since/until build and version attributes.
downloadRobotServerPlugin Downloads robot-server plugin which is needed for ui tests running.
prepareSandbox Creates proper structure of plugin, copies patched plugin xml files and fills sandbox directory with all of it.
prepareTestingSandbox Prepares sandbox that will be used while running tests.
prepareUiTestingSandbox Prepares sandbox that will be used while running ui tests.
buildSearchableOptions Builds an index of UI components (a.k.a. searchable options) for the plugin by running a headless IDE instance.
Note, that this is a runIde task with predefined arguments and all properties of runIde task are also applied to buildSearchableOptions tasks.
jarSearchableOptions Creates a jar file with searchable options to be distributed with the plugin.
runIde Executes an IntelliJ IDEA instance with the plugin you are developing.
runIdeForUiTests Executes an IntelliJ IDEA instance ready for ui tests run with the plugin you are developing. See ui tests example to know more
publishPlugin Uploads plugin distribution archive to https://plugins.jetbrains.com.
verifyPlugin Validates completeness and contents of plugin.xml descriptors as well as plugin’s archive structure.

Configuration

Plugin provides the following options to configure target IntelliJ SDK and build archive

Setup DSL

The following attributes are a part of the Setup DSL intellij { ... } in which allows you to setup the environment and dependencies.

  • intellij.version and intellij.localPath should not be specified at the same time.
 Acceptable Values:
  • version #
    '2017.2.5' or 'IC-2017.2.5'

plugins - The list of bundled IDE plugins and plugins from the JetBrains Plugin Repository.

Please see Plugin Dependencies in SDK docs for more details.

Notes:
  • For plugins from the JetBrains Plugin Repository use format pluginId:version.
  • For bundled plugins version should be omitted: e.g. org.intellij.groovy for IDEA/plugins/Groovy plugin.
  • For sub-projects use project reference project(':subproject').
  • If you need to refer plugin's classes from your project, you also have to define a dependency in your plugin.xml.
 Acceptable Values:
  1. org.plugin.id:version[@channel]
    'org.intellij.plugins.markdown:8.5.0', 'org.intellij.scala:2017.2.638@nightly'

Building Properties

Attributes Values
updateSinceUntilBuild - Should plugin patch plugin.xml with since and until build values?

Notes:
  • If true then user-defined values from patchPluginXml.sinceBuild and patchPluginXml.untilBuild will be used (or their default values if none set).
Acceptable Values: true false

Default Value: true
sameSinceUntilBuild - Should plugin patch plugin.xml with an until build value that is just an "open" since build?

Notes:
  • Is useful for building plugins against EAP IDE builds.
  • If true then the user-defined value from patchPluginXml.sinceBuild (or its default value) will be used as a since and an "open" until value.
  • If patchPluginXml.untilBuild has a value set, then sameSinceUntilBuild is ignored.
 Acceptable Values: true false

Default Value: false
instrumentCode - Should plugin instrument java classes with nullability assertions and compile forms created by IntelliJ GUI Designer? Acceptable Values: true false

Default Value: true

Contributing tips:

You can debug the source code of gradle-intellij-plugin (e.g. put breakpoints there) if you add a reference to your local copy into settings.gradle of your IntelliJ plugin:

includeBuild '/path/to/gradle-intellij-plugin'
