lctrs / jetbrains-flatpak-wrapper Goto Github PK

I'm trying to use this wrapper with IDEA Ultimate. zypak wrapper is giving some trouble with some plugins, so I will end up using a custom idea.properties file to add/override some of the settings.

IDEA is able to override those values by making use of different locations: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207240985-Changing-IDE-default-directories-used-for-config-plugins-and-caches-storage

Problem is that I can't find a way to declare environment variables here:

- name: jetbrains-flatpak-wrapper
  buildsystem: meson
  config-opts:
    - -Deditor_binary=/app/extra/IDEA-U/bin/idea.sh
    - -Deditor_title=IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate
    - -Dprogram_name=idea
  sources:
    - type: dir
      path: jetbrains-flatpak-wrapper

...so I can just do IDEA_PROPERTIES=/app/bin/idea.properties.

I can probably get around using --env with finish-args, but I guess it would be great if there was a key for just that, or if config-opts could accept as well --env.

The shell currently defaults to a sandboxed plain sh, which is not what most developers want.

It would be cool if it could default to a host-shell (bash, in most cases). I've configured this manually using host-spawn and it works really great, since I've done this, I couldn't find any of the annoying bugs that were there before.

More concretely, I've changed in Settings → Tools → Terminal → Shell Path:

/path/to/host-spawn bash

I guess this could also be done by a script inside this wrapper. The binary for host-spawn could be included as well.

This would be a great improvement that I think a lot of people could benefit of.

In the first_run.txt file it gives instructions for how to permanently set the Intellij terminal to be the local filesystem.

To make the Integrated Terminal automatically use the host system's shell,
you can modify `Settings > Tools > Terminal > Shell path` to `/usr/bin/env -- flatpak-spawn --host bash`:

1. There is a space between -- and flatpak-spawn which makes the command fail
2. Even when that is fixed the terminal does not appear. I tried running the command in native terminal and this is the error I get /usr/bin/env: unrecognized option '--flatpak-spawn' and if I delete the -- I get /usr/bin/env: ‘flatpak-spawn’: No such file or directory

I looked at the help for /usr/bin/env and can't figure out what you are trying to do.

Then I tried to run the one off command. I reset the default environment to bash, opened a terminal, and entered the command in the first_run.txt file flatpak-spawn --host bash

It errors

Portal call failed: Failed to start command: Failed to change to directory “/app/share/jetbrains-flatpak-wrapper” (No such file or directory)

Can you please update the instructions
