| Tool | Version |
| --- | --- |
| Gradle | 8.12.1 |
| IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin | 2.2.1 |

Reposting this from the Slack channel, since I didn’t get an answer, unfortunately 😕

I can’t upgrade from plugin 2.1.0 to 2.2.x due to the following error, reproduced also on the plugin template:

- clone the template [GitHub - JetBrains/intellij-platform-plugin-template: Template repository for creating plugins for IntelliJ Platform](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-platform-plugin-template/tree/main);
- update `intelliJPlatform = "2.2.1"` in `gradle/libs.versions.toml` ;
- add `bundledPlugin("com.jetbrains.codeWithMe")` to the `dependencies.intellijPlatform {}` section.
- execute `./gradlew instrumentCode`
- get an error:

> Failed to read bundled plugin ‘plugins/cwm-plugin’: Plugin ‘plugins/cwm-plugin’ is invalid: Invalid plugin descriptor ‘plugin.xml’. The parameter [2023300] and the plugin version [233.15619.7] should have a matching beginning. For example, release version ‘20201’ should match plugin version 2020.1.1

Works fine when switching back to 2.1.0.

I tried the recent plugin version 2.3.0, and the error has gone away, so I’ve migrated successfully. Thanks!
