JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Blog

Today we’ve released the next EAP build of IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.2. Among the usual amount of bugfixes, noteworthy changes are support for BuildConfig.java (added in a recent release of Eclipse ADT) in the Android plugin, an updated version of SVNKit for better Subversion 1.7 support and a workaround for a JDK 6 bug that caused mouse events to be received with incorrect coordinates on some GNOME 3 versions.

You can download the new build from the EAP page or update from the IDE using “Check for updates”.

Measuring JavaScript code coverage naturally complements unit testing. It provides a clear picture of which parts of your code remain untested, and helps you focus additional tests on the uncovered code.

From now on, users of JsTestDriver can measure code coverage visually, right in the editor with JsTestDriver plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. Make sure you have installed 11.1.2 EAP with the latest version of the plugin. (more…)

When developing a Node.js application it can be convenient to have code completion, validation and debugging capabilities for Node core modules (fs, path, http, etc).

Unfortunately, these modules are compiled into the binary. So you have to download the Node.js source code and attach it to the project (all the required sources are located in the lib/ folder). But every time you decide to upgrade your Node installation, you have to repeat these steps - and don’t forget to detach previously attached sources to avoid confusion in code completion and navigation!

Well, from now on there’s an easier way to attach the Node.js sources to your project.

As you may know from the previous post about JavaScript Libraries in Intellij IDEA 10, the main benefit of specifying JavaScript libraries in your project is to populate a completion list with only relevant members. We have reorganized the configuration panel at Settings|JavaScript|Libraries, so it hopefully become easier to use. (more…)

We are getting a lot of reports and ideas from you about the ordering of JavaScript completion options. So in IntelliJ IDEA we made small but important improvements. More relevant suggestions now appear at the top of the list in many cases.
