Upgrade IDEs installed with Jetbrains toolbox #899

Closed cmalvi closed 2 years ago

cmalvi commented 2 years ago

I want to suggest a new step

Which tool is this about? Where is its repository?

The tool from Jetbrains used to install their IDEs

Which operating systems are supported by this tool?

Linux, Windows, macOS

What should Topgrade do to figure out if the tool needs to be invoked?

Use it to checks for IDEs upgrade avaiability

Which exact commands should Topgrade run?

Seems there isn't a command line interface, here the issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-653

I want to suggest some general feature

Topgrade should check for avaiable update

More information

I know that, due to missing cli for Jetbrains, this won't be easy. Toolbox isn't a "light" application so, let Topgrade do those update, will be very useful for those people with less capable machines to keep programs run in background.

Since there's no command line option to control the toolbox, how do you suggest to implement this feature?

cmalvi commented 2 years ago

do you think will be a good workaround to check installed IDEs and then download directly from jetbrains site?

r-darwish commented 2 years ago

I think this is a bit out of scope for Topgrade. The purpose of Topgrade is to run existing upgrading mechanisms, not to implement its own. The best I can offer is that you try to install JetBrains products through some kind of package manager such as Chocolatey or Brew
