How to Disable the Plugin Verifier

IntelliJ Platform Gradle Build Scripts
1

I see some issues (like 2.4.0 Configuration takes 25s vs 2s with 2.1.0 · Issue #1905 · JetBrains/intellij-platform-gradle-plugin · GitHub) depends on (and are affected by?) the Plugin Verifier.
I’m just wondering if I can disable the Plugin Verifier completely. I don’t use it locally. I check the online report generated by the marketplace.
Thanks.

Tool Version
Gradle 8.13
IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin 2.1.0 and 2.4.0

Would something like below work for you?

tasks {
    verifyPlugin {
        enabled = false
    }
}

Unfortunately, verifyPlugin is deprecated. I’m trying to find something similar in pluginVerification, but the code completion in build.gradle.kts is a bit broken (again…) in IJ :downcast_face_with_sweat:.

@jonathanlermitage.1 Disabling Plugin Verifier won’t help mitigate the linked issue.

Plugin Verifier exists in two forms:

  • as a CLI tool, which is executed when running the verifyPlugin task
  • as libraries that handle some logic related to IDE layout, plugins dependencies, and classpath calculation – those libraries are used in multiple places across the Gradle plugin

To fix the performance problems, Plugin Verifier has to adjust how it handles IntelliJ Platform jars, relations, and FS operations.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.
