Just out of curiosity - how painful is it keeping the plugin working with each new IntelliJ version? Are we talking minutes, hours, days or weeks to get a version out that supports an EAP?

[sam]

usually its minutes

[sam]

sometimes they break something though and I have to play about for a bit

[sam]

are you missing a version ?

[Rob Elliot]

I foolishly upgraded to the latest EAP, 211.5787.15 and the latest plugin version (1.1.26-IC-2020.3) only claims to be good up to 203.*.

(Unfortunately plugin v1.0.5 is more broadminded, claiming to be compatible with 191.4212.41+, so the plugin gets downgraded to that old version.)

[sam]

There is a plugin for 211

[sam]

Let me check its published

[sam]

oh its not there

[sam]

It won't release https://github.com/kotest/kotest-intellij-plugin/runs/1911602504?check_suite_focus=true

[sam]

I guess they've broken something in EAP currently

[Rob Elliot]

np, just wondered if it was something I could look at myself or if it was going to be way out of my league

[sam]

feel free to take a look, I'm trying the latest EAP candidate build now to see if that helps

[Rob Elliot]

I will this evening

[sam]

A new version of the plugin that supports 2021.1 EAP has been uploaded. It usually takes Jetbrains 1-2 working days to approve the release - so hopefully by close of business Monday it will be in the marketplace, if not then Tuesday.

[Rob Elliot]

Thanks! Sorry, did check it out but got nowhere in the very short time I had.

[sam]

No prob, let me know if this works when you try it on monday/tues

[Rob Elliot]

Working, thanks - though interestingly when I click the gutter run icon at the class level it is run in gradle now. Individual tests are still run in the kotest plugin.

[sam]

It should support both and I don't think anything else has changed

[sam]

unless intellij itself has changed something
