I want to create a plugin for Intellij IDEA. I need to add an action (AnAction) that will create a class in Kotlin (not Java) in a custom package. I have two questions:
How to create files with the desired extension?
Or how to create a file with Kotlin class(from some base class) in a custom package?
One possible way to accomplish this is to use PsiFileFactory.createFileFromText() to create an in-memory Kotlin file and then to pass that file as a parameter to PsiDirectory.add() to save it to the filesystem.
Although yole's answer is correct, I would like to see more details about mistery PsiDirectory class.
//get directory by VirtualFile
PsiDirectory directory = PsiManager.getInstance(project).findDirectory((getKotlinSourceDir(project))
Get kotlin source dir:
private VirtualFile getKotlinSourceDir(Project project) {
return project.getBaseDir().findChild("src").findChild("main").findChild("kotlin");
}
And than you can create subdirectories:
//someDirectoryName it is simple name
//(i.e if you post "com.some.package" - it does not create com/some/package folder)
PsiDirectory newDirectory = psiDirectory.createSubdirectory(someDirectoryName);

I have a
data class A(){
fun c(){}
} .
I need to create a fake implementation of it for testing, but it says that class must be open. open modifier is incompatible with data class. Any ways to do it?
To mock final classes update mockito
testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:2.8.9'
and then add a folder in your resources folder called mockito-extensions that includes a text file called org.mockito.plugins.MockMaker. Inside there just add
mock-maker-inline
That should solve your problem
I have a maven project in IntelliJ IDE. I have created a package with name event.handlers. After which I created multiple classes inside this package.
There are no classes inside event everything is inside event.handlers.
Now I want to create a java class inside package event.
Is there any way from the IDE I can do that?
Currently, I am manually creating the java file inside the event folder in my code repository.
In the left Project structure pane, there is Settings button, in that please Uncheck, Compact Empty Middle Packages.
The settings will be like
.
Now you will have a tree structure, where you can right-click or (ctrl + enter/ alt + insert) on the package and create the file.
For example,
Try creating a Java Class at src folder named event.NewClass. This will create a NewClass.java inside src/event.
You can create folder with the dot symbol . at creating a Java Class or a Package, or Kotlin File/Class when Type is not File. For example create a Package with name com.company.example at src folder will automatically generate the folders recursively, src/com/company/example, create a Java Class with name com.company.example.AClass will automatically generate a file AClass.java inside the automatically generated folder tree src/com/company/example.
It might be easier to just create the class inside package AB and Refactor > Move to place it inside of A.
It seems that all other answers here are workarounds anyway, so if it's just a one-off, this might be the easiest option.
However, in my case, after doing this I had to "Invalidate Caches and Restart" before IDEA updated the UI properly.
I created a maven project, and my hierarchy is :
MyPro:
.ideas
src
-main
-java
-mypackage
-MyClass.java
-test
-java
-mypackage
- (PLACEHOLDER)
When I try to create MyClassTest.java at PLACEHOLDER i.e. in test/java/mypackage, I got unable to parse template class, cannot create class-file.
But if I create TestMyClass.java file, it works. I wonder why is that?
Do you have MyClassTest.java or something similar listed under:
Settings → Editor → File Types→ Text files ?
If so, try removing that pattern and check if you can create the class.
I was able to reproduce this error in a standard maven project, after adding the following file type:
And then trying to create the MyClassTest.java:
And after removing the file type there were no problems creating the Test class.
I combine Xtext and Xtend. In project, where I write code for my DSL, Xtext work but XTend not generate file in src-gen (this is sources root on: <project-root>/src-gen/).
I have this code in function doGenerate
override void doGenerate(Resource resource, IFileSystemAccess2 fsa, IGeneratorContext context) {
fsa.generateFile("a.txt",'a')
}
Src-gen is always empty. In eclipse this work. How can I generate file in IntelliJ IDEA or how can I fix this problem. I run in gradle.
I run gradle task runIdea. I create Java project without any SDK.
When project is created, I add "file.mydsl" in src folder. Then I need change facet settings. I open project structure dialog (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S), in the left-hand panel, click Facets, choose + icon and add DSL facet. Then apply and code is work. In src-gen create a file "a.txt".
Is it possible to use a custom view file in a module (eg. user) in order to keep the module (3rd party) intact?
Somehow extend the module, with a views folder that holds my custom views.
The path to the module theme views should be
/{{your_app_name}}/themes/{{theme_name}}/views/user/
Copy all of the module views from the folder
/{{your_app_name}}/protected/modules/user/views
to the mentioned above folder and that will do the job. After that you could customize the views as you like.
Copy user module view files to <app>/themes/<current_theme>/views/user/. More general, customize module views using the folowing "formula": <app>/themes/<current_tehem>/views/<modules_name>/<controller_name>/<view_file_to_customize>.php
Use a theme. For a module named "user" and a view path of "profile/edit", create "/themes/flashy/user/views/profile/edit.php". You can also define a new layout in "/themes/flashy/layouts/column2.php". Then add to your configuration file in "protected/config":
return array(
// many settings...
'theme' => 'flashy',
For the module "user" you pointed out, unfortunately its controllers use absolute paths for their layouts (e.g. "//layouts/columns2") so AFAIK you can't define distinct layouts for the application and this module.
See also the official guide chapter on theming with Yii.
I disagree that in many help forums of the Internet, when someone asks abot theming a module, everyone suggests a path alias to the themes folder. I think this is wrong, because it implies modules to be splitted, and modules are supposed to be a black-box that can be used across projects. The advice given in such forums would only be valid if a theme is shared among several modules. If someone wants to "package" a theme inside a module, she can:
-add an init function to the controller of the module
-inside that init, use the class attribute layout and a path alias, like this, supose a module whose id is "Sample":
then you add, to SampleCOntroller.php:
public function init() {
//BELOW: it will use the layouts/main.php inside the module.
$this->layouts = "sample.views.layouts.main";
}
