flutter-intellij Blueprint

System Overview

The flutter-intellij repository provides the official Flutter plugin for IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio. It integrates Flutter SDK capabilities, debugging, UI inspection, and project management directly into the IDE.

Local Interface & Invariants

  • build.gradle.kts, settings.gradle.kts: Gradle build configuration files for compiling the IntelliJ plugin.
  • pubspec.yaml: Dart package configuration.

Subdirectories & System Boundaries

  • docs: Documentation for the plugin.
  • gradle: Gradle wrapper configuration.
  • kokoro: ./kokoro/ABOUT.md - Configuration and scripts for the flutter-intellij-kokoro CI jobs on Google's internal Kokoro infrastructure.
  • releases: Release scripts and assets.
  • resources: UI layouts, messages, and standard static plugin resources.
  • src: ./src/ABOUT.md - Root source directory containing the core Java and Kotlin implementations of the IDE plugin.
  • testData: Test files and goldens for various IDE integration tests.
  • testSrc: Source directory for IDE tests.
  • third_party: ./third_party/ABOUT.md - Third-party libraries and IntelliJ plugin dependencies.
  • tool: ./tool/ABOUT.md - Root tooling directory for flutter-intellij. Contains grind tasks and other shell utilities for CI, deployment, and testing.

Global Invariants

  • All plugin UI interactions must execute on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) unless explicitly marked for background execution.
  • Network and VM Service interactions must be performed asynchronously to avoid freezing the IDE.

Global Side Effects

  • Mutates the local filesystem to create and manage Flutter projects.
  • Spawns external processes (flutter, dart, gradlew) to handle compilation, testing, and execution.
  • Establishes persistent WebSocket connections to running Dart VM instances for debugging and hot reload.

System Verification

  • Run: ./gradlew test to execute unit tests.
  • Run: ./gradlew buildPlugin to verify compilation.
