# OpenIDE project The OpenIDE project is largely based on the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition by JetBrains. You can learn more about the project at https://openide.ru. These instructions will help you build OpenIDE from source code, which is the basis for IntelliJ Platform development. The following conventions will be used to refer to directories on your machine: * `` is your home directory. * `` is the root directory for the OpenIDE source code. ## Getting OpenIDE Source Code OpenIDE source code is available from `` by either cloning or downloading a zip file (based on a branch) into ``. The default is the *243* branch. These Git operations can also be done through the [IntelliJ IDEA user interface](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/using-git-integration.html). _**Speed Tip:**_ If the complete repository history isn't needed, then using a shallow clone (`git clone --depth 1`) will save significant time. _**On Windows:**_ Two git options are required to check out sources on Windows. Since it's a common source of Git issues on Windows anyway, those options could be set globally (execute those commands before cloning any of openide/android repositories): * `git config --global core.longpaths true` * `git config --global core.autocrlf input` OpenIDE requires additional Android modules from separate Git repositories. To clone these repositories, run one of the `getPlugins` scripts located in the `` directory. Use the `--shallow` argument if the complete repository history isn't needed. These scripts clone their respective *master* branches. Make sure you are inside the `` directory when running those scripts, so the modules get cloned inside the `` directory. * `getPlugins.sh` for Linux or macOS. * `getPlugins.bat` for Windows. _**Note:**_ Always `git checkout` the `openide` and `android` Git repositories to the same branches/tags. ## Building OpenIDE Version 2024.3 or newer of OpenIDE is required to build and develop for the IntelliJ Platform. ### Opening the OpenIDE Source Code for Build Using OpenIDE **File | Open**, select the `` directory. * If OpenIDE displays an error about a missing or out of date required plugin (e.g. Kotlin), [enable, upgrade, or install that plugin](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/managing-plugins.html) and restart OpenIDE. ### OpenIDE Build Configuration 1. It's recommended to use JetBrains Runtime 17 to compile the project. When you invoke **Build Project** for the first time, OpenIDE should suggest downloading it automatically. 2. If the _Maven_ plugin is disabled, [add the path variable](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/absolute-path-variables.html) "**MAVEN_REPOSITORY**" pointing to `/.m2/repository` directory. 3. Make sure you have at least 8GB of RAM on your computer. With the bare minimum of RAM, disable "Compile independent modules in parallel" option in [the compiler settings](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/specifying-compilation-settings.html). With notably more memory available, increase "User-local build process heap size" to 3000 - that will greatly reduce compilation time. Note that it is important to use the variant of JetBrains Runtime **without JCEF**. So, if for some reason `jbr-17` SDK points to an installation of JetBrains Runtime with JCEF, you need to change it: ensure that OpenIDE is running in internal mode (by adding `idea.is.internal=true` to `idea.properties` file), navigate to `jbr-17` item in Project Structure | SDKs, click on 'Browse' button, choose 'Download...' item and select version 17 and vendor 'JetBrains Runtime'. ### Building the OpenIDE Application Source Code To build OpenIDE from source, choose **Build | Build Project** from the main menu. To build installation packages, run the `installers.cmd` command in `` directory. `installers.cmd` will work on both Windows and Unix systems. Options to build installers are passed as system properties to `installers.cmd` command. You may find the list of available properties in [BuildOptions.kt](platform/build-scripts/src/org/jetbrains/intellij/build/BuildOptions.kt) Examples (`./` should be added only for Linux/macOS): * Build installers only for current operating system: `./installers.cmd -Dintellij.build.target.os=current` * Build source code _incrementally_ (do not build what was already built before): `./installers.cmd -Dintellij.build.incremental.compilation=true` `installers.cmd` is used just to run [OpenSourceCommunityInstallersBuildTarget](build/src/OpenSourceCommunityInstallersBuildTarget.kt) from the command line. You may call it directly from OpenIDE, see run configuration `Build OpenIDE Installers (current OS)` for an example. #### Dockerized Build Environment To build installation packages inside a Docker container with preinstalled dependencies and tools, run the following command in `` directory (on Windows, use PowerShell): `docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/community $(docker build -q . --target build_env)` ## Running OpenIDE To run the OpenIDE built from source, choose **Run | Run** from the main menu. This will use the preconfigured run configuration "**IDEA**". To run tests on the build, apply these setting to the **Run | Edit Configurations... | Templates | JUnit** configuration tab: * Working dir: `/bin` * VM options: * `-ea` You can find other helpful information at [https://www.jetbrains.com/opensource/idea](https://www.jetbrains.com/opensource/idea). The "Contribute Code" section of that site describes how you can contribute to OpenIDE. ## Running OpenIDE on CI/CD environment To run tests outside of OpenIDE, run the `tests.cmd` command in `` directory. `tests.cmd` will work on both Windows and Unix systems. Options to run tests are passed as system properties to `tests.cmd` command. You may find the list of available properties in [TestingOptions.kt](platform/build-scripts/src/org/jetbrains/intellij/build/TestingOptions.kt) Examples (`./` should be added only for Linux/macOS): * Build source code _incrementally_ (do not build what was already built before): `./tests.cmd -Dintellij.build.incremental.compilation=true` * Run a specific test: `./tests.cmd -Dintellij.build.test.patterns=com.intellij.util.ArrayUtilTest` `tests.cmd` is used just to run [CommunityRunTestsBuildTarget](build/src/CommunityRunTestsBuildTarget.kt) from the command line. You may call it directly from OpenIDE, see run configuration `tests in community` for an example.
