A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

you need to do something like <https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/tools-intellij-platform-gradle-plugin-testing-extension.html#intellijPlatformTesting|here> and pass a `localPath`

for example that's what we do:

```tasks {
  val runLocalIde by intellijPlatformTesting.runIde.registering {
    // Use a custom IJ/AS installation. Set this property in your local ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file.
    // (for AS, it should be something like '/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents')
    // See <https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/android-studio.html#configuring-the-plugin-gradle-build-script>
    providers.gradleProperty("apolloIntellijPlugin.ideDir").orNull?.let {
      localPath.set(file(it))
    }
}```

Do you have this path set in your local `~/.gradle/gradle.properties` , or is it in your repo's gradle properties?

Also, would `./gradlew runIde` automatically run AS now?

Both should work. And the task name is `runLocalIde`

Thank you!! running that works :smile:

Also, is there any way to force the version of AS it's running on, or is it based on what is on your local machine?

Actually, do you have something in here
```dependencies {
  // IntelliJ Platform dependencies must be declared before the intellijPlatform block - see <https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-platform-gradle-plugin/issues/1784>
  intellijPlatform {
    ...```
?

I think runIde will by default start the IDE (including version) you've put there.

but yeah, if you use the `localPath` way then it will run the one that you point to

Under intellijPlatform, we have something like that <https://github.com/slackhq/foundry/blob/c925595db9a9d8df7f74d92848abcdf91aa4b20e/platforms/intellij/skate/build.gradle.kts#L120|here>, but it defaults to running intelliJ

I think you can add `androidStudio("version you want")`

Would it be like `androidStudio("Android Studio Ladybug Feature Drop | 2024.2.2 Patch 2")` for example?
```Android Studio Ladybug Feature Drop | 2024.2.2 Patch 2

I _think_ that would be more like `"2024.2.2.15"`  ... but not 100% sure :sweat_smile:

the doc for this is <https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/android-studio.html#android-studio-releases-listing|here> and it refers to the list of versions <https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/android-studio-releases-list.html#2024|here>

Ah okay! Thank you so much!! This was really helpful :raised_hands:
