Add CI (build :core + :plugin, run parser tests on push) #1
Description
The plugin has no CI — nothing builds or runs the parser tests on push.
The build is already CI-ready. In plugin/build.gradle.kts:
val localIde = providers.gradleProperty("localIdePath").orNull
if (localIde != null) local(localIde) else intellijIdeaCommunity("2024.3.5")So when -PlocalIdePath is not passed (the CI case), Gradle downloads IntelliJ IDEA Community on its own. A workflow just runs the build without that property.
What to do
Add .github/workflows/ci.yml:
actions/checkout@v4actions/setup-java@v4with Temurin 21gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v4(gives Gradle caching)- run
./gradlew build— compiles:core+:plugin, runs the:coreparser tests, andbuildPluginpackages the zip. Do not pass-PlocalIdePathin CI. - add
./gradlew verifyPluginif you want the plugin-structure check too.
Cache the IntelliJ Platform download as well (the IDE artifact is ~1 GB); setup-gradle caches ~/.gradle, and the platform cache lives there too, so cold runs are slow but warm runs are fast.
Trigger on push (main) and pull_request.
How to verify
The first run is green and does the IDE download; a follow-up push reuses the cache. A red build should block the change.

Done in #13 — merged and green.
Two jobs:
buildruns:core:testplusbuild/verifyPluginProjectConfiguration/verifyPluginStructure/buildPluginand uploads the zip;verifyruns the IntelliJ Plugin Verifier against 2024.2.5 (the floorsinceBuild = 242claims) and 2024.3.5 (the compile target). Both report Compatible.Worth recording what the first run turned up, since it had been true for the life of the repo:
gradlewwas committed100644, so every Linux runner failed it with exit 126. Nothing caught it because every build until now was on Windows, where the mode bit isn't consulted. Fixed to100755in the same PR.The verify job also asserts that the number of Plugin Verifier report directories equals the number of IDEs declared in
pluginVerification. That guard exists becauseide(IntelliJPlatformType.IntellijIdeaCommunity, "2024.2.5")compiles, runs, and schedules nothing — leaving a green run that verified one IDE while appearing to verify two. Only theide("IC-2024.2.5")string form works.
