IntelliJ Platform SDK DevGuide

1. Tests Prerequisites

1.1. Create a folder for tests

Open the project with the plugin and create a separate folder “tests”. Mark the folder as a test source root via the context menu Mark Directory AsTest Source Root.

1.2. Create a folder for test data

In our tests we will use test data, so we need one more folder “testData” to store these files.

1.3. Run Configuration Parameters

Since some of our tests will use Java files as test data, we need to mock up the project SDK. IntelliJ IDEA does everything automatically when we use the special utility class LightCodeInsightFixtureTestCase.

All we need to do is point the the run configuration’s working directory to the root of the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition sources and enable the following VM options:

-ea -Xbootclasspath/p:../out/classes/production/boot -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=320m -Didea.system.path=../test-system -Didea.home.path=../ -Didea.config.path=../test-config -Didea.test.group=ALL_EXCLUDE_DEFINED
