fyi, on IntelliJ plugin development: the next major version will come with a few changes http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/plugin_structure/plugin_components.html . Does meta already provide the functions to define services and the other extensions mentioned in the doc?

We’re currently updating the library to 2019.3. As anyone rn in the community

[Imran/Malic]

There are some weird errors I am running into

[Joachim Ansorg]

ApplicationServices/ProjectServices and others extensions are in 2019.2 (and earlier), 2019.3 added a few more nice things.

[Imran/Malic]

I just checked the Docs

[Imran/Malic]

That’s awesome

[Imran/Malic]

we can support that

[Joachim Ansorg]

Yep, 2019.3 has quite a bunch of internal changes. I also had troubles migrating some older plugins, which make use of internal apis (which JetBrains doesn't like too much 😉

[Joachim Ansorg]

great! install and update without reloads will be so much more useful

[Imran/Malic]

But AFAIK that feature is available starting from IntelliJ 2020.1, which there are no EAP versions out, nor stable releases.

[Joachim Ansorg]

yes, the reload feature isn't available yet. The API changes features to support this are already in 2019.3 (most of it is already in 2019.2).

I have an minimal example here to show, which errors I am running into subscribing to the latest EAP https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow-meta/pull/306
@Joachim Ansorg if you have time, can you take a look?
I thought we had to change IdeTestSyntax , but the registration process seems broken in the latest EAP

[Imran/Malic]

I finished the API for this feature in this PR: https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow-meta/pull/443
There will be further changes to the Ide to host other Plugins. But most of the heavy lifting is done through ApplicationSyntax
