I have a simple intellij platform plugin project that doesn't seem to reload properly after I build or enable / disable it. What steps are needed to tigger the reloading?

Here's a video of what I mean

Here's my plugin code

package benconvey.adaideplugin.actions;

import com.intellij.openapi.actionSystem.AnAction;
import com.intellij.openapi.actionSystem.AnActionEvent;
import com.intellij.openapi.project.Project;
import com.intellij.openapi.ui.Messages;
import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;

public class BensAction extends AnAction {

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(@NotNull AnActionEvent event) {

        Project currentProject = event.getProject();
        Messages.showMessageDialog(currentProject, "Hello", "Say Hello", Messages.getInformationIcon());
    }

}

<idea-plugin>
    <id>org.example.testing</id>
    <name>Plugin display name here</name>
    <vendor email="support@yourcompany.com" url="http://www.yourcompany.com">YourCompany</vendor>

                text="Say Hello">
            <add-to-group group-id="EditMenu" anchor="first"/>
        </action>
    </actions>

Use Run | Reload Changed Classes action. See Reload modified classes for more context.

  • Thanks! It just took me a day to figure out. Though I would add it's only works when running the `runIde` task in Debug – mati.o Jul 09 '20 at 20:38
