Support for running other IDEs via the Running DSL

[breandan]

As requested here, it would be nice if it were possible to run other IDEs configured in the Setup DSL via the Running DSL.

I guess this works now? I am on 0.4.5 and :runIde task now starts CLion as expected. Does it work for other IDEs?

[zolotov]

I don't think so. You still have to change intellij.version to run CLion or IDEA. Other IDEs are not support at all.

[breandan]

Right, as long as the property is set it launches CL or IU. Still, It’s a nice improvement.

This is now possible with IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin 2.0:

import org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.gradle.IntelliJPlatformType
import org.jetbrains.intellij.platform.gradle.tasks.RunIdeTask

tasks {
  val runPhpStorm by registering(RunIdeTask::class) {
    type = IntelliJPlatformType.PhpStorm
    version = "2023.2.2"
  }

  val runLocalIde by registering(RunIdeTask::class) {
    localPath = file("/Users/hsz/Applications/Android Studio.app")
  }
}
