IntelliJ and Gosu

[yk]

Hi,

Most of open source projects have at least a getting started doc.
Why you don't create a simple and complete step by step tutorial showing how to install/use IntelliJ and Gosu?

I'd like to write some articles about Gosu but I can't get it working except with the limited console that comes with gosu distribution.
I've tried many times to install/use last IntelliJ Community Edition and last version of Gosu to no avails: I've got errors such as Invalid Gosu directory...

May be that I'm missing something that it's not mentioned on your website...

Anyway, it would be great to have simple doc that shows how to install Gosu plugin and to start writing some code.

Thx

Hi khaled,

I don't think there is a document for that yet, but installing the plugin is not that difficult. You can find instructions here:

http://gosu-lang.org/intellij.html

Those instructions are:

- Intallation
The plugin is hosted on the IntelliJ IDEA Plugin Repository. To download and install the plugin, follow these steps:

1. Install IntelliJ IDEA 11 (either the Ultimate or Community editions) to your machine
2. With IntelliJ running, open the Settings menu and select Plugins
3. Click the Browse Repositories... button, and search for gosu
4. Right click on the Gosu plugin and select Download and Install
5. After the plugin has been installed, restart IntelliJ

Concerning your problem, to make it run, it is probably solved by 1 (or both) answers here below that you can find on the same page mentioned above:

FAQ
Q: I created a new project but can't find the action to create new Gosu files, where are they?
A: Make sure you created a package first, then right-click on it and and select New/Gosu Class

Q: Gosu does not seem to work properly in my project, but I cannot see why.
 A: Make sure you have the Default Gosu SDK set on your project (File/Project Structure/Project)."

Hope that helps

Best regards

Carlos

Hi carlos,

Installing the plugin is not the problem.

The problem is rather what can we do with the Gosu's plugin?
Again, I installed it many times on the last Intellij community edition but I can't do anything with it.
I set the gosu sdk and restarted Intellij many times but I can't:
- create a new gosu project: no gos options when trying to create new project
- switch to the new gosu 0.9-14: Invalid Gosu directory message...

Oh I see, yes, there should be a documentation, I agree.

Concerning the error, it looks like the plugin still targets 0.9-12.

I once mentioned that there should be even a book about Gosu, maybe we can expect that once Gosu hits version 1.0

Hi guys

 

Yes, the plugin currently targets 0.9-12.  We're working hard on a brand new major update to the existing IJ plugin, due out in a few weeks. Currently the plugin is going through a testing phase then we'll deliver it internally and finally we'll distribute a revision here at gosu-lang. At that time we'll also release a new Gosu revision, mostly around performance improvements and other changes relating to the IntelliJ plugin.

 

Please be patient with us, we're working hard to make the plugin and Gosu itself a top notch development experience. And as always let us know what specific problems you may experience and we'll try our best to help.  Thanks.

FWIW, there's no discernible difference between 0.9-12 and 0.9-14, in your IJ plugin experience.  Aside from a few tiny bug fixes, the only significant difference is in the gosu launcher, which facilitated some changes I needed to for Aardvark.  This launcher is not in the picture in the IJ plugin.

Hi Khaled

I think, now you can document the steps and share . :-)

Where do you use Gosu?
