Idea-gitignore: Incompatible with 2019.2

[Atulin]

Will most probably break in all other IDEs when IntelliJ starts pushing their respective 2019.2 updates.

similar problem

JetBrains added a built-in .ignore support Plugin in 2019.2. Similar thing happened with BashSupport:

I suppose we'll see what happens here.

Starting with 2019.2 all IntelliJ-based IDEs have builtin handling for gitignore and hgignore, which overlaps with the .ignore plugin functionality. That is why the compatibility of the .ignore plugin was limited. Please see https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2019/07/support-for-vcs-ignores-in-intellij-idea-and-intellij-based-ides/ for details.

We plan to release a new version compatible with 2019.2 and later versions which will provide extended features (like .dockerignore support, etc), but will not conflict with builtin gitignore support.

Thanks for your work!

I like .ignore plugin more then the new build-in function. Because the build-in function missed some features (or I didn't discovery the setting yet :P). Like:

• Can't hide ignored files
• Can't generate a template by just select what you want. (I only found the build-in fuction have to click file one by one)

And the colored highlighting within the .gitignore file was really nice, which is missing in the built-in IDE functionality.

[dmitriysmirnovjb]

There was no goal to replicate all feature of the .ignore plugin in the builtin integration. We also do not plan to completely drop .gitignore-related features from the .ignore plugin, only those that conflict with builtin things. The plugin still will provide some feature like ignore file generation from a template, etc.

And this is not the right place to complain about missing IntelliJ feature, I believe. If you want to see some features in the IDE, please submit a request to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA

We gotta get this back ASAP. I'm thinking of downgrading PhpStorm so I can get this back. Bad call to not have this working.

I think what they were saying is they like your plugin more than the new builtin plugin. And that they miss it 😢. Me too.

I like that this plugin allows to see/edit .git/info/exclude when open .gitignore.
It's better then builtin.
Thank you for your work

.ignore v3.2.0 is released, compatible with 2019.2. After a short verification, as usual, it will become available on the Marketplace https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7495--ignore

[jraller]

v.3.2.0 causes PhpStorm 2019.2 to report an error on loading. In the error dialog it stills shows plugin ownership as hsz rather than JetBrains preventing the error report from being sent directly.

As a worakround please enable hg4idea (Mercurial) plugin. See #592
