BitBake IntelliJ Plugin

Highlight .bb/.bbappend/.bbclass/.inc files in JetBrains IDEs to make working with BitBake-based projects (like anything based on Yocto Project) easier.

How to install

The easiest way is to just install the plugin from the official JetBrains Marketplace:

Get from Marketplace

Or you can download the latest release and install it in your favourite JetBrains IDE like this:
File ➜ Settings... ➜ Plugins ➜ ⚙️ Gear Button (Manage Repositories, Configure Proxy or Install Plugin from Disk) ➜ Install Plugin from Disk...

How to build

If you have Git, Gradle and Java installed, just use the following command to build the plugin:

gradle build -Pversion=$(git describe --dirty --tags --always)

The installable .zip file of the plugin can then be found in build/distributions.

Alternatives without installing Gradle & Java system-wide

If you don't want to install Gradle & Java locally, you can use e. g. Docker or Podman:

$ docker run --rm -it -u "$(id -u)" \
    -v "$(pwd)":/home/gradle/project -w /home/gradle/project \
    docker.io/library/gradle:7.4-jdk11 bash
$ gradle build -Pversion=$(git describe --dirty --tags --always)

You can also use Conda to install Gradle & Java in a separate environment:

$ conda create -n jetbrains-plugin-development -c conda-forge gradle=7.4.* openjdk=11.*.*
$ conda activate jetbrains-plugin-development
$ gradle build -Pversion=$(git describe --dirty --tags --always)
