Improving CONTRIBUTING.md for Generating Proper JAR File #33

Closed karlmatti closed 5 months ago

karlmatti commented 5 months ago

Hi there,

I've been using this plugin for a few months and now I want to contribute to the project. But, I'm stuck trying to build the right JAR file needed for local use. Can someone please update the CONTRIBUTING.md file to explain how to do this?

Right now, the instructions say to run a task called runIdea, but it doesn't exist. The closest thing I found is runIde, but I'm not sure if that's what I need because I just want to create the JAR file, not download a new version of IntelliJ.

There's also a task called buildNeeded which seems close to what I need, but it needs some extra stuff like META-INF to be a working version.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Thanks for the valuable feedback, project is using gradle tasks provided by intellij-platform-gradle-plugin as referenced in CONTRIBUTING.md . intellij-platform-gradle-plugin has renamed runIdea task to runIde - I've updated CONTRIBUTING.md to reflect that. hope it's better now. Plugin installation artifact is created by buildPlugin task - I rarely use it. runIde is more convenient for manually testing IntelliJ with installed plugin

maybe we should add the jdk and gradle version in the readMe, jdk 17 is needed.

@huangliang992 - updated CONTRIBUTING.md with references to Gradle & JDK versions - https://github.com/wrdv/testme-idea/commit/0da084b155d295fc8bcaf6f0524619d3a0f5ae97. hope it helps. thanks for the feedback
