Hi Gregor, I'm having problems installing the plugin in intellij community 14.1.4. Initially, the create project from sources doesn't appear to allow me to choose the project type. Then a bunch of jar references are missing ( perhaps a conseqience of the first issue), and build fails with many missing imports. Any ideas as to how to resolve this?
I'm a very noob intellij user
By the way, I think an answer to #43 is that making primitive types structs matches their semantics - they are value, not reference types, they have methods, hence they work like structs. They have no internal structure, so they are declared as empty. Their size is given by meta data (order? or something like that, haven't looked recently). You might need to interpret the meta data.
About your issue, please try to just create a normal project (general project) and point the directory to your vala sources. When you open a first .vala file you should see a notification to configure a Vala SDK. The Gui for that is a bit ugly but should work (for example, you should be able to pick Vala SDK home directory)
If you encounter any issues please let me know, also screenshots could be helpful
I will try to add a tutorial on how to use the plugin when I have more time :)
The problem is that I'm unable to compile the plugin in the first place , and no directory is showing as a valid home directory for the plugin - which makes sense as I can't get it to build.
Is there a command line way to build the plugin?
I'm using oracle java 1.8, which seems to be required for lambda functions (I'm not a java programmer normally, so this is all pretty new).
Error:(13, 8) java: org.intellij.vala.psi.impl.ValaDelegateDeclarationImpl is not abstract and does not override abstract method setName(java.lang.String) in com.intellij.psi.PsiNamedElement
And other probably related messages
With the follow up of -- I can't get anything in my project to complete, but I feel like this was working previously. Am I setting something up wrong in my project? Vala files are recognized fine, highlight fine, but I can't get anything to complete -- no completion of other classes in the project, constructors, or even methods off of "this". Is that normal?
Apparently I was relying to much on my automated tests and this one slipped through :worried:
@ruckus-dj not sure what CLion is...
about CLion it definitely looks like something the vala-plugin should work with. I will take a look at it when I've got time
And it seems that it has no autocomplete. Is it normal?
Yes, testing with CLion because we have a project in C/GTK and decided to use Vala to simplify development. But now we have a lot of C code that compiles with CMake and generating .gir and .vapi files. So i tryed to develop all in one IDE. Want to help you but i don't know Java so i'll try when i'll have time to learn it.
I just lost interest in Vala language and as a result also in developing the plugin
Sorry, I hope someone can take what is already made and make it much better!
