Development Notes

Simulating a fresh install

To simulate a fresh install, you need to delete any accrued application state. To do this, you'll want to delete select folders in your plugin sandbox (location found in the Sandbox Home field in Project structure | SDKs | [your IntelliJ IDEA plugin SDK].

  • config folder contains IDE app-level configuration, including app-level libraries, SDKs, recent projects, etc.
  • system folder contains indexes and caches, deleting it is similar to File | Invalidate Caches action.
  • plugins folder contains plugins that you additionally manually installed to the started IDE. (Likely don't want to delete Dart.)
  • test folder will also appear as soon as you run some tests. (Deleting it when tests fail with no visible reason can sometimes help.)
