Contributing to the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin

There are many ways to contribute to the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin project, and each of them is valuable to us. Every submitted feedback, issue, or pull request is highly appreciated.

Issue Tracker

Before reporting an issue, please update your configuration to use always the latest release, or try with the snapshot release, which contains not-yet publicly available changes.

If you find your problem unique, and it wasn't yet reported to us, file an issue using the provided issue template.

Integration Tests

The project provides Unit Tests and Integration Tests to verify if nothing is broken with the real-life project examples. Integration Tests provide various different test cases with dedicated verification scenarios available in test class and associated project directory located in Integration Tests resources. Read the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin Integration Tests document to find more about this kind of tests and find out how to create new scenarios.

Link With Your Project

It is possible to link the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin project with your plugin project, so it'll be loaded and built as a module. To integrate it with another consumer-like project, add the following line in the settings.gradle.kts Gradle settings file:

includeBuild("/path/to/intellij-platform-gradle-plugin")

The Gradle project needs to be refreshed to apply changes.

Note

If you use the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin settings plugin by applying org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.settings in settings.gradle.kts, it is necessary also to add includeBuild(...) to the pluginManagement section:

pluginManagement {
   includeBuild("/path/to/intellij-platform-gradle-plugin")
}

Pull Requests

To correctly prepare the pull requests, make sure to provide the following information:

  • proper title and description of the GitHub Pull Request – describe what your change introduces, what issue it fixes, etc.
  • relevant entry in the CHANGELOG.md file
  • unit tests (if necessary)
  • integration tests (if necessary)
  • documentation (if necessary, available in JetBrains/intellij-sdk-docs repository)
