Just to mention a few changes done this past here:
Removed Slack
Change the Gradle plugin from 1 to 2 ( lot of work and learning)
Change the UI framework from the Robot to idea-starter
Changed the until build
Change the platform type…
Sorry but I am not sure you guys want to keep the external plugins mechanism at all with all those changes without any public discussion on how it affect us…
we are encouraged to support EAP builds, but we should not test with EAP builds. At least, this is not easy, and the official plugin template can’ be used as an example if we want to support EAPs
sometimes I read that we should build against the minimal supported version (I remember discussions about that on Slack, JetBrains developers recommended that), sometimes against the most recent version
At least, this is my understanding. I think some clarifications (and put this in the docs) would be helpful, and greater consistency in the advice provided by JetBrains.
We for sure want to help you test with EAP, I am only saying about the compilation with it. This is new change for us on the merge of builds, we simply have not fully adapted to all aspects of it.
The official recommendation is to support 3 Major versions of IDEs and have open until-build to be compatible with the upcoming versions.
To me, it feels like the community here has shrunk. Slack was never meant for broad knowledge sharing, but rather for communication within small groups.
Responding to the same people in Slack does not help us anyhow, it is just an elitist club then. And what we needed is searchable and open platform with questions and solutions.
There is no goal to solve exact problems of people who come - this is not support channel, but build a way to help more people with the same problems.
Thank you for the information. You mention that for the 2025.3 release “free tier does not require license”. Does free tier require login? Since this is the first time there will be a “unified build”, we are trying to understand what the behaviour will be so we can properly set up our test automation so it functions when 2025.3 is released.
Hi, @anusreelakshmi2001, unfortunately, no, it very much depends on how you build images. We’re currently investigating if we can use java.awt.robot to click and accept all System Settings prompts, but I can’t share results. Moreover, I can’t promise that our solution is usable with GitHub’s agents, since our infra is very different and allows using tccutill.
If you happen to discover something that can help, we would be happy to hear your findings.
Hi, @anusreelakshmi2001
After some research, we’ve finally found a fix for the window picker popup by updating ~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.replayd/ScreenCaptureApprovals.plist. Here’s a GitHub link with a sample script that does it. Let us know if it helps, and have a happy holiday!
