IntelliJ Ultimate 211.6693.111 cannot be run (`Resource not found: /idea/nullApplicationInfo.xml`)

[bric3]

Describe the bug Gradle-intellij-plugin pass "null" value to the system property idea.platform.prefix, for IntelliJ Ultimate 211.6693.111 (platform type IU).

This prevents to run the IDE or to execute buildSearchableOptions.

I cannot debug the Gradle task even with Enable Gradle script debugging

but in ApplicationNamesInfo.loadData I see the returned property is "null", rather than the default one "".

This creates the following resource /idea/nullApplicationInfo.xml path, but this doesn't exists. If the idea.platform.prefix property was unset, or set to "", then loadData would find the file /idea/ApplicationInfo.xml in resources.jar.

./gradlew buildPlugin --info

To Reproduce For now I have reproduced it while working on https://github.com/lppedd/idea-conventional-commit/issues/116

I believe the only trigger appear to be the product type being IU and using an old enough platform version like 211.6693.111.

Expected behavior No problem running IU.

Environment:

• OS: macOS (Ventura, M1)
• Gradle IntelliJ Plugin Version 1.13.2
• Gradle Version 8.0.2

[bric3]

Note the workaround when the platform is IU is to force the value to an empty String.

  runIde {
+   systemProperty("idea.platform.prefix", "")
  }

Actually I managed to debug the Gradle task I had to remove Debug forked task in the same session.

So the issue is that getValue returns "null", thus the ifNull guard is not executed

            OperatingSystem.current().isMacOsX && infoPlist != null -> infoPlist
                ?.getDictionary("JVMOptions")
                ?.getDictionary("Properties")
                ?.getValue("idea.platform.prefix") // <---- this returns "null"
                .ifNull { error(context, "Cannot find prefix in $infoPlist") }

Indeed on

fun NSDictionary.getValue(key: String) = this[key].toString()

the .toString() doc says it will return "null"

/**
 * Returns a string representation of the object. Can be called with a null receiver, in which case
 * it returns the string "null".
 */

[bric3]

Actually on 2022.1 the gradle-intellij-plugin is doing the same, but ApplicationNamesInfo.loadData is significantly different than before so it doesn't fail. The code actually returns earlier and ignore the value of the idea.platform.prefix property.

Thanks for the investigation, Brice! Fixed with e4e7338
