[npaul-cs]

Every time I open IntelliJ, i get the following Exception/Error report. IntelliJ Build: #UI-212.4746.92 / 2021.2 Ultimate Conventional Commit: 0.18.0

Let me know if you need anything else ;)

Hi @jpaul-cs! You need version 0.19.0 for 2021.2. Didn't it pop out as an update?

[npaul-cs]

No, and I'm not able to update it via IntelliJ :/ (Unless I would try to install binaries manually)

[lppedd]

@jpaul-cs could you screenshot the plugin manager dialog on IntelliJ? So I can check what you're actually seeing for this plugin.

[npaul-cs]

[lppedd]

@jpaul-cs thanks! Gonna ask JetBrains directly soon, as I have no idea what's happening.

[lppedd]

@jpaul-cs ok, question: why is this plugin "bundled"? Did you install it manually in the IDE installation directory?

[npaul-cs]

That might be the reason, yes. I uninstalled and removed the plugin completely, with the goal to reinstall it by marketplace. But unfortunately it wasn't possible.

[lppedd]

@jpaul-cs I don't understand why it's saying "version '0.18.0'" when you're downloading 0.19.0. Isn't it strange?

[npaul-cs]

Exactly. I was confused as well...

[npaul-cs]

Are there any local files which should be deleted, which I may forgot?

But I can indeed confirm, that the downloaded Zipfile (downloaded by marketplace) contains the 0.18.0 version. (I ensured it was deleted before, and this is a fresh download)

[lppedd]

@jpaul-cs dang, very very strange. And no, you do not have to delete anything.

So basically you're/ve:

• running 2021.2.*
• deleted the plugin folder from C:\Program Files\JetBrains\{ideafolder}\plugins
• deleted all the caches

Right?

[lppedd]

I think you've recently updated IDEA from an older version, and plugins have been somehow migrated incorrectly. That's why you have my plugin as "bundled".

[npaul-cs]

So here is my case: I had conventional commit installed on my laptop with IntelliJ 2021.1. Then came 2021.2 and the plugin still worked (without updating to 0.19.0)

So I updated my DesktopPC to 2021.2 and tried to install conventional commits afterwards (as it wasn't installed before). It didn't work, so I manually downloaded the plugin and installed it as binary manually.

Then the minor update 2021.2.1 came and lead to this ticket.

After your reply, I manually uninstalled the plugin and restarted IntelliJ (deleted the plugin folder from C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2\plugins)

Now I am still not able to install it via marketplace, as the wrong version is downloaded.

[lppedd]

Ok, so the root cause is the that the plugin was installed under, somehow, C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2\plugins. What if you manually download the zip file from the Marketplace and use "Plugins > Install plugin from disk"?

[npaul-cs]

Worked! I hope, the next updates will work too ;)
