Update nightlies daily

Pavel Fatin

Generally, we recommend using nightly builds of Scala plugin to stay up to date in cutting-edge features and bug-fixes. Most nightlies are rather stable and may often work even better than “officially stable” releases.

Although we can always download the latest nightly build and update Scala plugin by-hand, there is now a better way to get recent versions.

Just add “http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/plugins/scala-nightly.xml”
into Settings / Updates / Plugin Hosts:

After that, you can receive notifications on new plugin nightlies:

Update with pleasure 🙂

Very awesome!

I do have one request. Can you avoid publishing a nightly build if there have not been any changes that day? The Scala git repo shows no changes in the past five days, but there’s been a nightly build every day.

That would help avoid needless updates and restarts.

Thanks again!

Although we won't have Scala Days this year, the Scala Love conference is all the rage. The technology lets us transcend physical boundaries – we can unite while being far away... well, at least as long as there are tickets left ;) Owing to high demand, the IntelliJ Scala team has volunteered to extend the conference by hosting a third track called Harmony, in addition to the two existing o

While the key feature of the 2020.1 Scala plugin release is, of course, Scala 3 support, there are many features and improvements for all versions of Scala. Let's take a closer look. 1. Scala 3 support 2. Fine-grained error highlighting for function literals 3. Unused Parameter inspection 4. Smart Step Into 5. BSP support improvements Scala 3 support Now that Dotty is destined to beco

TL;DR Sometimes you need to attach the IntelliJ IDEA debugger to a running JVM process. Using the Attach to process... action frequently, however, can slow you down a little bit. You might want the IntelliJ IDEA debugger to attach automatically to any process that was spawned outside of IntelliJ IDEA (from the terminal, a build tool, etc.) without having to interact with IntelliJ IDEA each time.

Just like IntelliJ IDEA 2019.3, this release of the Scala Plugin is focused primarily on performance boosts and usability enhancements. And yet, we managed to sneak in a cool new feature as well. Let's take a closer look. 1. Method chain hints 2. Inlay hint settings 3. Searchable settings 4. Scala REPL improvements 5. Scala Worksheet improvements 6. ScalaTest gutter icons 7. Up-to-date Ja
