kotlinlang #intellij

I find something strange on IJ and the kotlin plugin. Here’s the scenario. I have the latest stable version of the plugin (Version: 1.1.4-release-IJ2017.2-3), manually installed from [https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6954-kotlin] I go to « Configure Kotlin Plugin Updates », keep the stable channel and Check for updates. I have the proposition « A new version 1.1.5-dev-970 is available », and I install it (I always trust Intellij proposals). After restarting Idea, I have this message:

Copy code

13:36	Outdated Kotlin Runtime
Your version of Kotlin runtime in 'Gradle: org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-js:1.1.4-3' library is 1.1.4-3, while plugin version is 1.1.5-dev-970.
Runtime library should be updated to avoid compatibility problems.
Update Runtime Ignore

My questions: Why plugins updates propose me a 1.1.5-dev version as I chose the stable channel? What kind of compatibility problems could occurs?

@gaetan you have manually configured an external plugin repository pointing to the latest bootstrap plugin. this takes precedence over the update channel selected in Configure Kotlin Plugin Updates

you can remove the external plugin repository in Settings | Plugins | Browse Repositories

How can I edit the Kotlin template for a JUnit test function? File/Settings/Editor/File and Code Templates only has Java versions?

the plugin runs J2K on the Java template. there is no possibility to configure the Kotlin template separately

I’d like IntelliJ to offer the following refactoring. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-20141 Thoughts?

@natpryce when do you apply this refactoring?

I am using HTTP4K -- a library that defines HTTP handlers as functions.

natpryce

09/06/2017, 2:39 PM

But for a handlers that routes by URL path, I want to be able to add methods that report the routes supported, attach monitoring etc.

natpryce

09/06/2017, 2:39 PM

currently it’s a function, like…

natpryce

09/06/2017, 2:40 PM

Copy code

fun router(routes: List<PathMatchingHttpHandler>): HttpHandler =
    fun (request: Request): Response =
        ... do the routing

natpryce

09/06/2017, 2:40 PM

but I want to turn that inner function into an object, that I can add more methods (and interfaces) to.

natpryce

09/06/2017, 2:42 PM

So first I need to turn it into an object (this is the refactoring I’d like IntelliJ to do)

Copy code

fun router(routes: List<PathMatchingHttpHandler>) =
    object : HttpHandler {
        operator fun invoke(request: Request): Response = ... do the routing ...
   }

natpryce

09/06/2017, 2:42 PM

Then I can define an interface that extends HttpHandler and adds the additional methods needed.

natpryce

09/06/2017, 2:43 PM

And promote the anonymous object into a named class.

Is anyone also annoyed by blinking errors in status bar?

I wonder what is the purpose to submit them one by one

Would be great to upload them once all or even automatically without user interaction

Hi everyone, Can IDEA generate smart comment by expand /** like Java?

kirillrakhman

it does. it's just that in kotlin you don't write

@param

but instead use the parameter names in the comment body by writing

if [paramName] is empty, an exception will be thrown

Thanks a lot, but If I can customize the function module, maybe I can save some time by auto generating each paramName or just can choose a style of comment, you know, sometime just need to generate a template comment but not only an "empty block" like this /** */ , it's not beautiful...

is it just me or does the version 1.1.4-3 of Kotlin somehow struggle in ij when using gradle for project setup?
