Intellij: bazel remote prject support

[maricoxu]

my code is under linux/ubuntu, and sometimes I need to use windows clion to look at and modify the code, and it is good to use a remote bazle project if it is possible

[jin]

What do you mean by using a "remote bazel project"? Do you mean you want to use a local IntelliJ to view a Bazel project on another machine?

+1

I would also like to be able to either:
1) Open local project, but build and run it on Remote Server, like it works with usual remote development https://blog.jetbrains.com/clion/2018/09/initial-remote-dev-support-clion/
2) Open remote project and build it on its remote server

[maricoxu]

@jin yes， and agreed with @Elentary , this is the feature what I need

[visald]

Support for CLion remote development would be a very important feature for us as well.

With everyone in the world working from home this feature is more important than ever

[Pramy]

I also need it very much, hope to support

Correct way to express support is by using the "thumbs up" emoji instead of posting +1s.

There are two ways by which this can already be accomplished:

• Bazel's native remote build execution capabilities (likely the best option).

• Using a shared filesystem and a wrapper binary which executes Bazel in the remote host/VM/container (you'll have to adjust -Dbazel.bep.path to point to the shared filesystem, and possible the Aspects path).

is there any progress or interests by intellij devs to move on with this initiative?
