Issues upgrading rider plugin to support 2025

ReSharper Platform
1

I hope this is the correct forum for this. I have been trying to update my plugin to support 2025.1 EAP for some time now. The current attempt is here GitHub - jeppevammenkristensen/rider-mvvm-plugin at task/support-2025

When I run Rider(Windows) it will try to build and fail with this information

[org.jetbrains.intellij.platform] Using Rider as a target IntelliJ Platform with `useInstaller = true` is currently not supported, please set `useInstaller = false` instead. See: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-platform-gradle-plugin/issues/1852
> Task :compileKotlin FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':compileKotlin'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':compileClasspath'.
   > Could not find rider:JetBrains.Rider:2025.1-EAP8-SNAPSHOT.

My build script skills are not great and I haven’t been so fortunate to find a solution on how to make it work. I have tried searching how other plugins achieve it. I hope one of you can point me in the correct direction.

NOTE: The plugin was created originally based on this template JetBrains/resharper-rider-plugin: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/resharper/sdk/

Ok. I don’t know what law this is. I have struggled with this issue for a week. Decide to post here.

5 minutes later I try a thing. And of cause that thing seems to fix the problem. :slight_smile:

The solution was to do the following:

Instead of
rider(ProductVersion) on line 148

I do
rider(ProductVersion, useInstaller=false)

This was also hinted at in the error message. But as I also stated my gradle skills are not impressive.

Nice!! :clap:

Sometimes typing up a post (and posting) for assistance is all that’s needed to think of another thing to try that fixes “the issue”.
