Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when Solidity development or review is taking place in IntelliJ IDEA and the workflow benefits from language-aware editing, code navigation, formatting or Forge test actions.

Who it is for

  • Solidity smart-contract developers using IntelliJ IDEA.
  • Ethereum and EVM development teams reviewing or maintaining Solidity code.
  • Developers contributing to an open-source IntelliJ plugin.

Documented uses

  • Write Solidity with syntax highlighting and code completion.
  • Create Solidity files from templates.
  • Navigate to declarations and find code usages.
  • Format Solidity source code.
  • Start Forge test actions from gutter icons on *.t.sol files.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is presented in a public GitHub repository and is MIT-licensed. The cited material does not specify pricing, account requirements or a supported platform matrix.

  • The main workflow is tied to IntelliJ IDEA rather than a standalone browser application.
  • Forge test-runner gutter actions are documented specifically for *.t.sol files.
  • The repository provides Gradle tasks for building the plugin and running an IntelliJ instance.
  • The project is Kotlin-based and MIT-licensed, which matters for contributors assessing the codebase.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Build and start the plugin’s IntelliJ development instance

Prepare a local IntelliJ plugin development environment using the repository’s documented Gradle tasks.

Before you start

  • A checkout of the public intellij-solidity repository.
  • An environment capable of running the repository’s Gradle tasks.

Steps

  1. Run the repository’s documented ./gradlew buildPlugin task to build the plugin.

  2. Run the documented ./gradlew runIdea task to start an IntelliJ instance for development.

Expected outcome

The documented build and development-run stages are initiated for the IntelliJ plugin.

Guide limitations

  • The source documents these tasks but does not establish a successful local build, supported environment matrix or compatibility guarantee.
  • This recipe covers plugin development setup and launch, not packaging, publication or smart-contract deployment.
