RunIDe - not all plugins are uptodate

IntelliJ Platform
1

Hi,

I’ve noticed an inconsistency when using the runIde task:

  • Even with a clean state, the launched IDE instance shows available plugin updates
  • The plugins don’t seem to align with their latest versions

Is this expected behavior, or could there be an issue with how plugins are being resolved during the IDE launch process?

I’m particularly interested in understanding why this occurs even from a clean state.

I am asking also because of this issue:

There is no “magic” w/r to installed plugin versions in general.
You can double-check your sandbox as well IDE Development Instance | IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK.

What is the “updated” plugin version it wants to install? I see only GitLab IU-251.21418.69 on Marketplace that seems to match your screenshot.

Does this happen on the first runIde invocation only or on every start?

Yes, I didn’t though it was magic, I was asking what is the logic behind that. Why is one plugin installed as expected and another one is not?

I am running the task from a clean repo using the latest EAP as the target but some bundled plugins require an update.

It happen on every start

Please file a bug and attach idea.log from your sandbox IDE instance.

Ok I will.

This is the verison:

251.21418.62 is the bundled plugin version in EAP IDE

IU-251.21418.69 is the latest one available from Marketplace

so technically all looks correct…

It might be a glitch in our automatic uploading of bundled plugins.

Ok so now I got it - you can release an EAP version of the IDE with version 1
and then version 2, 3, and so on, and in between you can also release bundle plugin versions, same as external plugins - right?

Thanks, sorry, I didn’t think it was working like that.
