WebStorm 2020.1.1 Is Available

WebStorm 2020.1.1, the first bug-fix update for the recently released WebStorm 2020.1, is now available!

You can update to it using the Toolbox App or right from the IDE. You can also download WebStorm 2020.1.1 from our website.

This bug-fix update comes with a couple of long-awaited enhancements, such as:

• A new option for running eslint –fix on save (WEB-24452): To enable this option for the current project, go to Preferences/Settings | Languages and Frameworks | JavaScript | Code Quality Tools | ESLint and tick the Run eslint –fix on save checkbox. To turn the new option on for all new projects, from the main menu go to File | New Project Settings | Preferences/Settings for New Projects and tick the same checkbox. Either way, don’t forget to disable the file watcher you’ve been using for this purpose.
• Improvements to WSL 2 support (WEB-44463, WEB-44507): You can now use the TypeScript Language Service, linters, and Prettier in projects located in the WSL file system. Besides that, we’ve fixed the issue where the IDE failed to stop the running Node.js process whenever you tried to hit the Stop button (for information on how to use Node.js on WSL, see our documentation).

Here are some smaller but notable changes:

• Support for the ESLint 6.7 Suggestions API was added (WEB-44070).
• Hammer.js events are now recognized in Angular templates (WEB-43773).
• Several performance problems were solved (WEB-44844, WEB-43906, WEB-45024, IDEA-237965, and WEB-44548).
• Dependencies from pnpm workspaces are now properly indexed (WEB-44669).
• A number of disturbing, platform-wide bugs were fixed (including IDEA-229467, IDEA-233252, and IDEA-232070).
