Tasks

The IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin introduces a set of tasks to handle activities of the plugin development for IntelliJ-based IDEs, such as building, verifying, testing, and publishing the plugin archive.

Tasks related to the IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin are selectively applied to your project based on specific conditions or criteria defined within the plugin's context. This means that the plugin intelligently determines which tasks are relevant and necessary based on the current state or configuration of your project. This contextual application of tasks ensures that the plugin operates efficiently, performing only those actions that are appropriate for the given project environment at any time.

Tasks have dependencies on each other, they inherit from Task Awares interfaces, respect configuration and build cache, and can be configured independently. However, most cases will be covered by the IntelliJ Platform Extension.

`buildPlugin`

Builds the plugin and prepares the ZIP archive for testing and deployment.

It takes the output of the prepareSandbox task containing the built project with all its modules and dependencies, and the output of jarSearchableOptions task.

The produced archive is stored in [buildDirectory]/distributions/archiveFile, where the name and location of archiveFile can be controlled with properties provided with the Zip base task. By default, the archiveBaseName is set to the plugin name specified in the plugin.xml file, after it gets patched with the patchPluginXml task.

`archiveFile`

Specifies the archive file representing the output file produced by the task.

Type: RegularFileProperty

`buildSearchableOptions`

Builds the index of UI components (searchable options) for the plugin. This task runs a headless IDE instance to collect all the available options provided by the plugin's Settings.

If the plugin doesn't implement custom settings, it is recommended to disable this task via intellijPlatform.buildSearchableOptions flag.

In the case of running the task for the plugin that has intellijPlatform.pluginConfiguration.productDescriptor defined, a warning will be logged regarding potential issues with running headless IDE for paid plugins. It is possible to mute this warning with the paidPluginSearchableOptionsWarning Gradle property.

`outputDirectory`

Specifies the directory where searchable options will be generated.

Type: DirectoryProperty
Default value: [buildDirectory]/searchableOptions

`showPaidPluginWarning`

Emits a warning when the task is executed by a paid plugin. Can be disabled with the paidPluginSearchableOptionsWarning Gradle property.

Type: Property<Boolean>
Default value: paidPluginSearchableOptionsWarning && productDescriptor is defined

`composedJar`

Composes a final JAR by combining the output of base jar or instrumentedJar tasks, depending on if code instrumentation is enabled with intellijPlatform.instrumentCode.

The final JAR is also combined with plugin modules marked using the pluginModule dependencies helper.

`archiveFile`

Specifies the archive file representing the output file produced by the task.

Type: RegularFileProperty

`generateManifest`

Generates the MANIFEST.MF file with all relevant information about the project configuration.

To apply the produced manifest file, JarCompanion.applyPluginManifest method should be called on a task extending Jar.

This file is bundled into the output JAR files produced by composedJar, instrumentedJar, and Jar tasks.

The task is controlled with the intellijPlatform.instrumentCode extension property, enabled by default. To properly run the instrumentation, it is required to add instrumentationTools() dependencies to the project. This dependency is available via the intellijDependencies() repository, which can be added separately or using the defaultRepositories() helper.
