How to invoke the buildPlugin Gradle task from intellij

IntelliJ Platform

Google AI says:

1. Using the Gradle Tool Window (Recommended)

This is the most direct and visual method for managing Gradle tasks.

  1. Open the Gradle tool window: Go to View > Tool Windows > Gradle. It is usually located on the right side of the IDE by default.

  2. Sync the project (if needed): Click the Reload All Gradle Projects button (circular arrows icon) on the toolbar of the Gradle window to ensure all tasks, including buildPlugin, are listed.

  3. Locate the task: In the tree view, navigate through your project: [your project name] > Tasks > build.

  4. Run the task: Double-click the buildPlugin task to execute it.

  5. View results: The execution progress and results will be displayed in the Run tool

I cant find the buildPlugin button referred in step 4.

Otherwise, open the integrated terminal, type ./gradlew buildPlugin, then hit Ctrl+Enter. This will register this task as a Run Configuration.

Honestly, you should definitively read the documentation, not a stupid AI :wink:
