This directory contains the build expressions needed to build any of the jetbrains IDEs.
The jdk is in `pkgs/development/compilers/jetbrains-jdk` .
To test the build process of every IDE (as well as the process for adding plugins), build `jetbrains.plugins.tests.default` .
## How to use plugins:
- Get the ide you want and call `jetbrains.plugins.addPlugins` with a list of plugins you want to add.
- The list of plugins can be a list of ids or names (as in `plugins/plugins.json` )
- Example: `jetbrains.plugins.addPlugins jetbrains.pycharm-professional [ "nixidea" ]`
- The list can also contain a drv giving a `.jar` or `.zip` (this is how you use a plugin not added to nixpkgs)
### How to add a new plugin to nixpkgs
- Find the page for the plugin on https://plugins.jetbrains.com
- Find the id (it's the number after https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/)
- Run `plugins/update_plugins.py` add (plugin id)
- If binaries need patch or some other special treatment, add an entry to `plugins/specialPlugins.nix`
## How to update stuff:
- Run ./bin/update_bin.py
- This will update binary IDEs and plugins, and automatically commit them

- Source builds need a bit more effort, as they **aren't automated at the moment** :

- Find the build of the stable release you want to target (usually different for pycharm and idea, should have three components)
2023-12-19 08:11:53 +00:00
- I find this at https://jetbrains.com/updates/updates.xml (search for `product name="` , then `fullNumber` )
2024-12-11 14:47:56 +00:00
- Update the `version` & `buildNumber` fields in source/default.nix
2023-12-19 08:11:53 +00:00
- Empty the `ideaHash` , `androidHash` , `jpsHash` and `restarterHash` (only `ideaHash` and `restarterHash` changes on a regular basis) fields and try to build to get the new hashes
- Run `nix build .#jetbrains.(idea/pycharm)-community-src.src.src` , then `./source/build_maven.py source/idea_maven_artefacts.json result/`

- Update `source/brokenPlugins.json` (from https://plugins.jetbrains.com/files/brokenPlugins.json)
- Do a test build
- If it succeeds, make a PR/merge
- If it fails, ping/message GenericNerdyUsername
## How to add an IDE:
- Make dummy entries in `bin/versions.json` (make sure to set the version to something older than the real one)
- Run `bin/update_bin.py`
- Add an entry in `bin/ides.json`
- Add an entry in `default.nix`
### TODO:
- move/copy plugin docs to nixpkgs manual
- replace `libxcrypt-legacy` with `libxcrypt` when supported
- make `jetbrains-remote-dev.patch` cleaner
- is extraLdPath needed for IDEA?
- set meta.sourceProvenance for everything
- from source builds:
- remove timestamps in output `.jar` of `jps-bootstrap`
- automated update scripts
- fetch `.jar` s from stuff built in nixpkgs when available
- what stuff built in nixpkgs provides `.jar` s we care about?
- kotlin
- make `configurePhase` respect `$NIX_BUILD_CORES`
- make the subdir of the resulting tar.gz always have a release number (2023.2.2) instead of a build number (232.9921.89)
- jdk:
- build on darwin
- use chromium stuff built by nixpkgs for jcef?
- make `buildPhase` respect `$NIX_BUILD_CORES`
- automated update script?
- on `aarch64-linux` :
- test plugins
- from source build
- see if build (binary or source) works without expat
- on `x86_64-darwin` :
- test plugins
- from source build
- on `aarch64-darwin` :
- test plugins
- from source build
