Re: IntelliJ IDEA and the "The RequestFactory ValidationTool must be run" issue. Any help appreciated!

[Christien Lomax]

We've managed to get this working in a non-automatic way by manually triggering the compile of GWT via intellij's Maven integration window, this is NOT optimal, as it requires the developer to remember to do this step manually.  apparently, you can also specify that gwt:compile be run before each launch too...  I figure there should be some automated way of updating the Validation ??? no?

Other than this issue, IntelliJ has been excellent.  no more fussing with plugins or m2e, plus it seems to crash a whole lot less (read: not once yet).

Just wondering if anyone else is getting this issue or has run into this issue (re: "The RequestFactory ValidationTool must be run") while using IntelliJ IDEA (ver 12, ultimate).  We are currently exploring moving from Eclipse to IntelliJ and this is our last stumbling block.  

Run Configuration:

Artifiact Settings in Module Config

Annotation Processor settings:

Let me know if there are any specific config items you wish to see that aren't included above...  We've been stuck on this for a couple days now.

PS: Please don't ask WHY the move from Eclipse to IDEA, we can have that discussion in another forum.

I haven't used RF with IntelliJ yet, but have you configured IntelliJ to Make the project automatically (Settings -> Compiler -> use external build -> make automatically)? This should re-run the RF validation tool as soon as you modify any file. If you dont want that you can re-run annotation processors using the Build menu or context menu (-> Process '<name'> annotations).

In addition, in you run configuration you could add custom applications that should be executed before IntelliJ's 'make' when launching DevMode.
