How to specify version for IDE like CLion? about devpod

Hey @RobinQu, I just submitted a PR that was merged earlier to get this upgraded to 2024.1. I'm also planning to go ahead and submit another PR to actually swap over to the dynamic download links for the JetBrains products as well.

See #1002 for more details.

So you need to set the version on the local machine, not inside the k8s pod itself.

So I'd tear down the workspace, set the version locally, then spin up your workspace and you should now have CLio. 2024.1.

What a coincidence!

Just to add to this: @shanman190 create this PR to always fall back to the latest version.
Alternatively you can use devpod ide set-options intellij -o VERSION=2024.1 to set it manually

Following command is executed in my pod, and it still downloads 2023.2.

devpod ide set-options clion -o VERSION=2024.1

@RobinQu can you confirm it's updated with devpod ide options clion?
I just tried this and the logs included 15:00:59 info Download CLion from https://download.jetbrains.com/cpp/CLion-2024.1-aarch64.tar.gz. Maybe you'll have to reset the workspace?

Tried again with rebuilt worksapce. Same result in devpod 0.5.5.

and with a completely new workspace?

and with a completely new workspace?

To reproduce:

1. Create a new workspace with no IDE selected in a K8S provider.

2. Wait for POD ready.

pod.txt

3. Set IDE version in POD in interactive shell via k9s.

4. In devpod's dashboard, hower on the button with three dots of created workspace, and choose open with Clion in the popup menu.

5. devpod is busy preparing IDE. And it shows it's still downloading old version of Clion.

devpod ide set-options clion -o VERSION=2024.1

oh. silly of me... I never thought to give a try in the local temrinal.
