Hi,

Is there a step-by-step tutorial that helps us to create/run/debug a vert.x (1.3.0.final) project in IntellliJ IDEA?

Thanks,

Mihai

P.S. There is git://github.com/mgutz/vertx-web-hello.git but I can't make it to work with the latest vert.x version.

@Tim: What IDE do you recommended for running/debugging a vert.x app?

I use IntelliJ. But I haven't tried to set up a run configuration to run vert.x in the IDE. But it should be relatively easy. Personally I build with maven and build and run in a console window, but dev in the IDE. Even about to remote debug through IDE with app running in console.

Hello!

I tried to do the same but I get an error:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.vertx.java.deploy.impl.cli.Starter

Vert.x version 1.3.1-final.

take a look at this thread
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!searchin/vertx/intellij

I've uploaded a print screen with intellij config there.
although, make sure vertx jars are set as provided and not as compiled in your module settings.

Hi Asher, i seem to have the same problem as Nikita, when i put the libraries to provided i get the same error message:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.vertx.java.deploy.impl.cli.Starter

Process finished with exit code 1

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

We didn't do any work on IDE integration in Vert.x 1.x which is why you
are having problems.

However, IDE integration in 2.0 is pretty much seamless. Unless you have
an immediate need to use 1.x I'd suggest looking at 2.0

hey,

i was wrong about "provided".

i created a unified library with all of the jars and added it to my project under "compile" scope.

hope it helps,

Tried your suggestion. Vertx seems to fire up but it gives no response
when accessing the url i am exposing. (simple helloworld)

May 08, 2013 12:56:10 PM org.vertx.java.core.logging.impl.JULLogDelegate warn
WARNING: No language mappings found!

That is all i get

well, if vertx is up and kicking, you are pretty done with intellij idea part and should start taking care on your code :)

i don't know what you mean by "exposing a url".

within intellij i run a test verticle which deploys my project verticles and sends them messages via eventbus.

I have a verticle which is serving a helloworld.

import org.vertx.java.core.Handler;
import org.vertx.java.core.http.HttpServerRequest;
import org.vertx.java.deploy.Verticle;

public class Server extends Verticle {

public void start() {
System.out.println("test");
vertx.createHttpServer().requestHandler(new
Handler<HttpServerRequest>() {
public void handle(HttpServerRequest req) {
req.response.headers().put("Content-Type", "text/html;
charset-UTF-8");
req.response.end("<html><body><h1>Hello from
vert.x!</h1></body></html>");
}
}).listen(8080);
}

}

When trying to access to url http://localhost:8080 it does not give me
any result.
When running the same class via the command line it works perfect and
i can access the URL.

the code seems fine.

i think your ide doesn't find the compiled verticle it should run.

pay attention that you

1. make your module

2. in run/debug configuration, point working directory to the output path you've defined in your module settings (btw, you can add langs.properties file to your classpath to solve "language not found" or whatever it is problem)

3. choose your intellij module in the "use classpath of module:" drop down menu

give it a try.

cheers,

asher

I tried the suggestions, also checked your screenshot and the settings
seemed all ok. I am missing something or intellJ 12 is playing tricks
on me.

When running it in IntelliJ like this it's necessary to include the vert.x-1.3.1/conf directory in your classpath. And make sure that the program arguments in the IntelliJ run configuration have the fully qualified verticle class you're trying to execute: run com.foo.MyClass

You made my day!!! That solved all!! I am wondering how did you get
aware of this being the problem?

Marco -

I'm glad it worked. I know how frustrating things like that can be. I've been running it like this for several months and if I remember correctly I stepped through the debugger in IntelliJ, walking the vertx code and seeing where and why it was failing.
