IDEA in Flatpak does not open Project

[DanielNoga]

I tried to install IDEA from https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Ultimate via Flatpak with just released version 2022.2 . I compiled this plugin on Leap 15.4 with Plasma 5.24, Qt 5.15 and KF 5.90.

Last opened files was not detected automatically. I tried to configure it manualy - last opened project search started to work, but I cannont open them via this plugin. IDEA itself from KDE menu works correctly.

Yeah, the flatpak packages seem to use different locations for the config than the other install methods.

IDEA itself from KDE menu works correctly.

Could you please provide the desktop file of idea? According to your logs this is /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Ultimate/current/active/export/share/applications/com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Ultimate.desktop

Makes sense, I will try out the flatpak and work on a fix.

I tested latest updates and both detection and opening works for IDEA with master and fix_flatpak_detection branch of subproject. But it looks Webstorm has different issue. Logs:

Thank you, this looks fixed now and I moved that WebStorm to separate issue

[alex1701c]

I will make a release once the webstorm issue is fixed too
