DevPod is launching outdated IDE version #1032

Closed martinbiard closed 2 months ago

martinbiard commented 2 months ago

I only tested this with IntelliJ IDEA, but devpod is launching version 2023.2.4 while the current version is 2024.1.

My current workaround is adding a CLI option with the version, but it's not ideal because the CLI option is global while an IDE version is something you would want configured per IDE. For example if I don't remove the CLI option, I assume (not tested) it will cause an issue if I open a new workspace with VSCode instead of IntelliJ.

I think it might make sense to have all supported IDEs with a textbox, they could default to "latest" and we could put an exact version in there in case we want to pin it and control upgrades. It would also allow going for release candidate versions (devcontainers being so bleeding edge on the JetBrains side, going for release candidates often makes sense).

So at least part of your issue is already solved by https://github.com/loft-sh/devpod/pull/1006.

VERSION can be set to get both older and prerelease versions as well to enable more specific control.
