Solution - 'Gemini Code Assist/Cloud Code' requires plugin 'com.google.tools.ij.aiplugin' to be installed

[Jasonnor]

After updating the plugin to 24.8.1-233-api-version-223, the error mentioned in the title occurred.

I tried searching for 'com.google.tools.ij.aiplugin' in JetBrains Marketplace but couldn't find this plugin.

Expected Behavior

No plugin error.

Actual Behavior

Additional Information

• IDE version: 2023.3.4 (Professional Edition)

Hi @Jasonnor ,

(using Rider here but shall be same for PyCharm)

I run into the same issue yesterday and posted a solution on social media. You can install the missing plugin using the Rider shell script which is in the bin folder.

$ cd /snap/rider/current/bin
$ ./rider.sh installPlugins com.google.tools.ij.aiplugin

Rider needs to be closed and on next restart you have two plugins Code Assist and Cloud Code available.

Output below for reference for the repo maintainer. This happens when upgrading. New installation or removing the plugin and re-installation seems to work as expected though.

$ ./rider.sh installPlugins com.google.tools.ij.aiplugin

For MacOS user:

~/Applications/GoLand.app/Contents/MacOS/goland installPlugins com.google.tools.ij.aiplugin

@jochenkirstaetter

Thanks, I solved the problem with this command: /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/Helpers/PyCharm.app/Contents/MacOS/pycharm.sh installPlugins com.google.tools.ij.aiplugin

[chybis]

Similar for Windows (tested od Windows 10): c:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 2024.2\bin\pycharm.bat installPlugins com.google.tools.ij.aiplugin

[Alberto-Monteiro]

On my Mac, I was able to install the plugin using the following command: /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/idea installPlugins com.google.tools.ij.aiplugin

It gave an error when I opened IntelliJ IDEA for the first time, but after restarting it a second time, everything worked fine.

This is a bug in IntelliJ when you upgrade the IDE where the plugin is not the latest, it upgrades the plugins, but doesn't upgrade the dependent plugins (which is now a separate Gemini plugin bundled with Cloud Code).

Solution 1: Upgrade plugin before IDE (one time only)

Before upgrading the IDE to the new major version (2024.2), update the plugins to the newest version, not vice versa. This is one time only. Once the bundle of two plugins is there, upgrade won't be an issue anymore.

Solution 2: Remove the plugin and reinstall it if run into mentioned issue after the upgrade.

(a) Right click on the plugin and uninstall. You will not see a restart button yet due to IDE bug. Close settings. Re-open settings, and you will see "Restart". Restart IDE as prompted now. You must do this to remove the plugin incorrectly installed by IntelliJ (re-open settings and restart)

(b) after IDE restart, re-install Cloud Code from the marketplace to the latest version (24.8.1 as of now). Then restart

Plugin will install needed dependencies correctly and will work correctly.

[Ocoyack]

for debian 12: cd ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/pycharm-professional/bin sudo ./pycharm.sh installPlugins com.google.tools.ij.aiplugin sudo ./idea.sh installPlugins com.google.tools.ij.aiplugin

SOLVED: Reinstall plugin from officlal page: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8079-gemini-code-assist-cloud-code

[ivanporty]

This has mostly been resolved since it happens on certain IDE versions after first IDE upgrade. Closing now, and you can also install Gemini Code Assist separately now from the marketplace.
