Intellij: Plugin doesn't work with Bazel 1.0.0rc2

[davido]

After upgrade of Bazel from 0.29.1 to 1.0.0rc2, intellij plugin doesn't work any more. To reproduce, clone recursively gerrit from this commit (b02962142671ff8d933f2d81a3d5aaa6558065c9) and try to import it in IntelliJ.

Bazel Console log in 0.29.1: [1].
Bazel Console log on 1.0.0rc2: [2].

Particularly: the external dependencies are not detected on 1.0.0rc2:

Do you also experience plain crashes? https://github.com/bazelbuild/intellij/issues/1161

(Also, as mentioned there, my company-internal project works just fine for me.)

Do you also experience plain crashes? #1161

I saw this exception once, but I'm quite sure, it is unrelated here.

I started to bisect the problem and then realized this exception:

ERROR: /home/davido/.cache/bazel/_bazel_davido/5c01f4f713b675540b8b424c5c647f63/external/flexmark/jar/BUILD:4:1: in @intellij_aspect//:intellij_info_bundled.bzl%intellij_info_aspect aspect on java_import rule @flexmark//jar:jar:

The .java provider is deprecated and cannot be used when --incompatible_disallow_legacy_java_provider is set. Please migrate to the JavaInfo Starlark provider.

And then I looked into this code, and realized, that it is related to incompatible change: [1], that was already fixed in IntelliJ-Plugin in this CL: [2], but new plugin version wasn't released yet.

So that I went ahead and build the plugin from this commit (4b4b8187cfd657c2cdc1766d0c83342a03d5bf18):

  $ bazel build //ijwb:ijwb_bazel_zip --define=ij_product=intellij-beta

Note, that ij_product=intellij-beta corresponds to: intellij-2019.2. If you are using older IJ version you want to pass "intellij-latest": "intellij-2019.1" version.

I imported the custom built plugin version in IJ 2019.2, and voilà, it works as expected. I published it here: [3], it can be used until the official version is released.

[gertvdijk]

Thank you so much! I can confirm that this works for me as well.

Now waiting for a proper release. :)

[jin]

The plugin containing this fix (https://github.com/bazelbuild/intellij/commit/5f03bde0f02f5d1693a4567dc129230420a30372) is expected to be available early next week.

@jin Any updates on this?

[ittaiz]

@davido maybe it should be closed since #1213 is closed
