Gradle Properties
The IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin exposes a number of Gradle properties to control some of the low-level Gradle plugin behaviors. To enable or disable a particular feature, add a Project property to the gradle.properties file with the following pattern:
downloadSources
Instruct the IDE that sources are needed to be downloaded when working with IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin.
Value is passed directly to the IDEA Gradle Plugin to the idea.module.downloadSources
property.
See also:
- Default value
true
- Example
- org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.downloadSources=true
intellijPlatformCache
Specifies the location of the local IntelliJ Platform cache directory for storing files related to the current project, like:
XML files generated for the
localPlatformArtifacts
local Ivy repositoryself-update lock file used by the
initializeIntelliJPlatformPlugin
task
- Default value
[rootProject]/.intellijPlatform/
- Example
- org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.intellijPlatformCache=/path/to/intellijPlatformCache/
localPlatformArtifacts
The localPlatformArtifacts()
entry applied to the repositories {}
block is required to apply to the project dependencies that need extra pre-processing before they can be correctly used by the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin and loaded by Gradle.
- Default value
intellijPlatformCache/localPlatformArtifacts/
- Example
- org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.localPlatformArtifacts=/path/to/localPlatformArtifacts/
noSearchableOptionsWarning
When the buildSearchableOptions doesn't produce any results, for example, when the plugin doesn't implement any Settings, a warning is shown to suggest disabling it for better performance with buildSearchableOptions .
- Default value
true
- Example
- org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.buildSearchableOptions=false
paidPluginSearchableOptionsWarning
Due to IDE limitations, it is impossible to run the IDE in headless mode to collect searchable options for a paid plugin. As paid plugins require providing a valid license and presenting a UI dialog, it is impossible to handle such a case, and the task will fail. This feature flag displays the given warning when the task is run by a paid plugin.
- Default value
true
- Example
- org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.paidPluginSearchableOptionsWarning=false
productsReleasesAndroidStudioUrl
Specifies the URL from which the list of all Android Studio releases is fetched. This listing is later parsed by ProductReleasesValueSource
to provide a list of IDEs matching the filtering criteria for running the IntelliJ Plugin Verifier tool with the verifyPlugin
task.
- Default value
https://jb.gg/android-studio-releases-list.xml
- Example
- org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.productsReleasesAndroidStudioUrl=https://...
productsReleasesJetBrainsIdesUrl
Specifies the URL from which the list of all Android Studio releases is fetched. This listing is later parsed by ProductReleasesValueSource
to provide a list of IDEs matching the filtering criteria for running the IntelliJ Plugin Verifier tool with the verifyPlugin
task.
- Default value
https://www.jetbrains.com/updates/updates.xml
- Example
- org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.productsReleasesJetBrainsIdesUrl=https://...
selfUpdateCheck
Checks whether the currently used IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin is outdated and if a new release is available. The plugin performs an update check on every run asking the GitHub Releases page for the redirection URL to the latest version with HEAD
HTTP request: https://github.com/jetbrains/gradle-intellij-plugin/releases/latest.
If the current version is outdated, the plugin will emit a warning with its current and the latest version.
Feature respects the Gradle --offline
mode.
- Default value
true
- Example
- org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.selfUpdateCheck=false
shimServerPort
Specifies the default Shim server port at which the local webserver is run. The Shim server is used to proxy requests to the authorized custom plugin repositories registered with customPluginRepository()
.
- Default value
7348
- Example
- org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.shimServerPort=7348
useCacheRedirector
By default, JetBrains Cache Redirector is used when resolving Maven repositories or any resources used by the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin. Due to limitations, sometimes it is desired to limit the list of remote endpoints accessed by Gradle.
It is possible to refer to the direct location (whenever it is possible) by switching off JetBrains Cache Redirector globally.
- Default value
true
- Example
- org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.useCacheRedirector=false
