Using KTOR client plugins for plugin development

IntelliJ Platform
4

I had a quick look at your plugin sources.

If you add this right above instrumentationTools() in your build.gradle.kts:

        bundledModule("intellij.libraries.ktor.client")
        bundledModule("intellij.libraries.ktor.client.cio")

        // instrumentationTools()

and this in your plugin.xml:

    <depends>intellij.libraries.ktor.client</depends>
    <depends>intellij.libraries.ktor.client.cio</depends>

then you can compile even when you remove your own dependencies to KTOR.

It’s usually strongly recommended to not bundle libraries, which are bundled with the IDE, in a plugin. It’s possible to get weird classloader errors, for example.
