What is the idiomatic way to check if we are in RD mode?

IntelliJ Platform
1

Hello :waving_hand:

I wonder - what is the proper way to check if a plugin is run in an IDE in RD mode?

I found:

AppMode.isRemoteDevHost()

but it refers to an internal API.

I found:

ClientSessionsManager.getAppSession(ClientId.current)?.isRemote

but it refers to an experimental API.

Are there any alternatives???

Kind regards,

There is only an internal API to get this information, indeed.

For a backend/host process, the correct method is AppMode.isRemoteDevHost().
Alternatively, if you want to get an application/project client session, there are internal extension properties: Application.currentSession and Project.currentSession.

For a frontend/client process, the correct method is PlatformUtils.isJetBrainsClient().
