In this latest post about Kotlin support in Spring plugins in IntelliJ IDEA, we’d like to point out that Spring Boot is also fully supported for Kotlin. When you run a Kotlin main function that starts a Spring Boot application, it will be automatically recognized as a Spring Boot Run configuration:
Runtime beans information becomes available via Endpoints:
In addition to static-analysis-based gutters, there are runtime dependencies gutter hints appearing near bean declarations:
If you add Spring Boot Actuator to your project, you’ll get additional support for navigating to and testing Spring MVC handlers:
If you use Kotlin to develop Spring Boot apps, especially web services, these features should be a lot of help.
More posts about Kotlin with Spring support in IntelliJ IDEA are coming, so stay tuned!
Endpoints mapping does not seem to work with spring-boot-starter-webflux. Are there plans to implement that too?
Hello, Matouš! Yes, we are planning to fix the problem, please, follow the issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-195829
pretty cool feature especially the endpoints in combination with the built in rest editor. Thanks!
Hello,
I used to run all my springboot applications locally from IDEA but I can’t anymore since I upgraded to latest versions of community Intellij idea.
I am getting this error :
