✨ Gradle Intellij Run Generator Plugin ✨

A Gradle plugin that generates Intellij Run configurations from a YAML definition file, written in Kotlin.

💡 Introduction

This plugin allows to specify Intellij Run configurations with YAML!

For now, the scope of the plugin is quite simplistic, but over time new use cases or improvements may be added!

Originally, this plugin was developed for our Besu plugin: Exflo as a way of sharing complex configurations easily.

🙈 Usage

To apply the plugin, use the gradle plugin syntax:

plugins {
  id("dev.north.fortyone.intellij.run.generator") version "0.2.0"
}

Once the plugin is applied, you can configure it with the following options (default values are displayed below):

intellijRunGenerator {
  tasksDefinitionsFile.set(File("./intellij-run-configs.yaml"))
  tasksDefinitionsFileExtension = FilenameFilter { _, name -> name.toLowerCase().endsWith(".yaml") || name.toLowerCase().endsWith(".yml") }
  tasksDefinitionOutputDir.set(File(".idea/runConfigurations"))
}

Also you can specify a folder instead of a single definition file, just like this (by default it will load all *.yaml, *.yml files):

intellijRunGenerator {
  tasksDefinitionsFile.set(File("./intellij-run-configs/"))
}

If you want to see how the definition file looks like, there're some examples inside samples/intellij-run-configs.yaml.
