Flutter Plugin for IntelliJ

Flutter Plugin for IntelliJ

An IntelliJ plugin for Flutter development. Flutter is a multi-platform app SDK to help developers and designers build modern apps for iOS, Android and the web.

Documentation

• flutter.dev
• Installing Flutter
• Getting Started with IntelliJ

Fast development

Flutter's hot reload helps you quickly and easily experiment, build UIs, add features, and fix bugs faster. Experience sub-second reload times, without losing state, on emulators, simulators, and hardware for iOS and Android.

Quick-start

A brief summary of the getting started guide:

• install the Flutter SDK
• run flutter doctor from the command line to verify your installation
• ensure you have a supported IntelliJ development environment; either:
  • the latest stable version of IntelliJ, Community or Ultimate Edition (EAP versions are not always supported)
  • the latest stable version of Android Studio (note: Android Studio Canary versions are generally not supported)
• open the plugin preferences
  • Preferences > Plugins on macOS, File > Settings > Plugins on Linux, select "Browse repositories…"
• search for and install the 'Flutter' plugin
• choose the option to restart IntelliJ
• configure the Flutter SDK setting
  • Preferences on macOS, File>Settings on Linux, select Languages & Frameworks > Flutter, and set the path to the root of your flutter repo

Filing issues

Please use our issue tracker for Flutter IntelliJ issues.

• for more general Flutter issues, you should prefer to use the Flutter issue tracker
• for more Dart IntelliJ related issues, you can use JetBrains' YouTrack tracker

Known issues

Please note the following known issues:

• #601: IntelliJ will read the PATH variable just once on startup. Thus, if you change PATH later to include the Flutter SDK path, this will not have an affect in IntelliJ until you restart the IDE.
• If you require network access to go through proxy settings, you will need to set the https_proxy variable in your environment as described in the pub docs. (See also: #2914.)

Dev Channel

If you like getting new features as soon as they've been added to the code then you might want to try out the dev channel. It is updated weekly with the latest contents from the "master" branch. It has minimal testing. Set up instructions are in the wiki's dev channel page.

Identify what IntelliJ products we want to support (and how).

The sooner we get clear on what we want to support the better.

It would also be good to clarify whether we want tiers of support in order to provide the best experience in each product or shoot for a lowest common denominator that works equally well in all but sub-optimally in some.

should we have a flutter facet?

Race condition with console creation and disposed projects.

Occurred when creating a fresh project but reusing the current window.

Support for per project Flutter SDKs.

A breakout from #54.

In an ideal world we should support per-project (or in IntelliJ vernacular per-module) SDKs.

add a dependency on the Dart plugin

According to this, may be as simple as a <depends> in the plugin.xml.

Not seeing a way to specify versions though.

Infra - project model

Build out the model for Flutter projects in IntelliJ.

flutter plugin preference pane

we should co-habitate well with the dart plugin

Enabling flutter support for a flutter project should enable dart support as well.

august-1 meta issue

• testing (automated; unit tests; #30, #66, #96)
• project creation flow
• better clarity on how we distribute the plugin (versioning issues w/ the Dart plugin; building against the last stable IntelliJ API)
• determine the user flows we'll use to guide our initial development (project creation to hitting a breakpoint; opening an existing project on disk to hitting a breakpoint) (https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/wiki/User-Journeys)
• write a manual testing script; to be maintained as we add features

Make console persist.

In particular, the Flutter Console gets clobbered by the Analysis view.

Maybe this is a matter of making the view pinnable?

re-target to IntelliJ stable

Delete project bug

Cannot create a project after deleting a project with the same name. Repro

1. Create a new flutter project named 'sample'
2. Close the project window
3. Remove 'sample' from File>Open Recent... list (via Manage Projects) [optional]
4. Delete 'sample' folder from disk [optional]
5. Create a new flutter project named 'sample'

Result is this stack trace:

write a Java wrapper around the flutter daemon mode

We can later use this wrapper to communicate with the flutter tool.

The daemon mode protocol is documented here.

determine the plan for how to distribute the plugin

Once we can build the plugin in an automated way, we need to be able to distribute it.

make sure the plugin works well with the flutter repo

This one: https://github.com/flutter/flutter

From looking at it:

• we analyze things in bin/cache/ (like the copy of the dart sdk), which we shouldn't
• we don't analyze the packages in packages/ - the analysis server thinks those projects are within a symlink

Make Flutter Console name consistent with Pub Console.

Flutter Create => [module_name] Flutter: Create

Provide status during project creation

Possibly via the console (#42), the status bar or both.

Create a New "Flutter Project" Template/Wizard

Essentially a wrapper around flutter create. Should show up as a proposed project template in the New Project Wizard.

• contribute "New Flutter Project" wizard, that
• creates project contents (call flutter create)
• enables Dart Support
• opens lib/main.dart in an editor

add instructions for very, very early dogfooding

This is a placeholder for some very, very early dogfooding instructions, and some one-off binary builds of the flutter and dart plugins.

Possibly to be replaced and hosted on internal development infrastructure.

Update Flutter Plugin name.

flutter-intellij => Flutter 👍

should we have a flutter sdk?

this is the notion of an intellij sdk

Implement flutter tool execution

We need a general way to invoke the flutter tool.
This is probably the same as #36

Infra: consider using plugin services to encapsulate IDE-specifc implementations.

As a point of inspiration, we can look to the Go plugin which uses plugin services to separate "SmallIDE" from "Idea" implementations.

This will come in handy in particular for project and module configurations which differ across IDEs.

Project creation fails if no Flutter SDK is set.

Infra - Unit tests

Build out the framework for unit testing with IntelliJ.

Notify user when the Dart SDK differs from the one bundled with Flutter

It may be confusing to users if the default SDK defined in the Dart Plugin and the one bundled with Flutter disagree. An easy mitigation would be to define an inspection that detects this case and notifies the user. They may choose to correct it or ignore it.

Two places where this might make sense:

• in Flutter SDK configuration
• as an inspection that generates an editor notification

In both places the warning should be dismissible.

cc @devoncarew

Infra - SDK

Build out the model for the Flutter SDK.

support selecting a device to run on

how to build the plugin?

have a gradle script to build the plugin?

have run configs inherit global SDK set in pref page

Currently the user needs to manually type the flutter sdk location into a flutter launch configuration.

Create run configurations during project creation

Update Licenses

Create a User Journeys doc.

Add a flutter console

(Or attach to a pre-existing one.)

We'll want this to display output from flutter commands (e.g., create).

Update Wiki

Some thoughts:

• How to build
• How to deploy

and points of inspiration:

• https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki
• https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Smoke-Test

Allow for the creation of multiple Flutter SDKs

Before long we'll want to allow users to move between multiple SDKs (possibly allowing for per-project configuration a la the conversation in #54). To facilitate this, we should support SDK configuration like the Java tooling does.

For example, where for Java we might see:

we could imagine something similar for Flutter like:

how to distribute the dogfood version of the plugin

Create a local build of the plugin.

Pending #77, we need minimally a fresh local build.

Working on it.

how do we share code or APIs with the dart plugin

Depending on the dart plugin at runtime could leave us exposed to version skew and consuming APIs that don't have a guarantee of stability.

Run flutter unit tests (flutter test)

Need a way to run unit tests for Flutter apps. Assuming flutter continues to use package:test we probably want similar support to what Dart already has. Dart tests are presented in the IntelliJ test UI with linkage back to source and ability to filter pass/fail/skip.

Fix first page of New Flutter Project Wizard to be meaningful

Removing the old custom wizard step exposed one inherited from the framework.

Needless to say it adds no value but I can't see a way to remove it.

I think we need to specify something...

• a blurb about flutter?
• project level settings? (are there any?)
• a picture of the team? 😄

Process management

Debugging requires the ability to control the process being debugged, including I/O.

determine where the source for the plugin should live

Fix gradle build.

Mine generates a jar with just 261 bytes.

I also see this when I gradle build:

plugin.xml with 'idea-plugin' root is not found. IntelliJ specific tasks will be unavailable for :flutter-intellij.
:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes
:jar UP-TO-DATE
:assemble UP-TO-DATE
:compileTestJava UP-TO-DATE
:processTestResources UP-TO-DATE
:testClasses
:test UP-TO-DATE
:check UP-TO-DATE
:build UP-TO-DATE

suggesting the likely culprit.

use the flutter daemon mode to start applications

determine how to verify that we work in different intellij products

We should have a plan know that we work in:

• intellij community edition
• intellij ultimate
• android studio

All for the latest stable intellij edition.

get unit tests for the plugin working

• Create framework for running unit tests, #30
• Create sample tests
