IntelliJ Platform Plugin

Last modified: 20 April 2023

TeamCity plugin provides TeamCity integration for IntelliJ Platfrom-based IDEs. These include IntelliJ IDEA, RubyMine, PhpStorm, WebStorm and others.

See a separate Supported Platforms and Environments on the list of supported versions.

TeamCity integration provides the following features:

  • Remote run and Pre-tested (delayed) commit,

  • customizing parameters for personal builds,

  • possibility to review the code duplicates,

  • analyzing the results of remote code inspections,

  • monitoring the status of particular projects and build configurations and the status of changes committed to the project code base,

  • viewing failed tests and build logs with highlighted stacktraces and current project file names,

  • start investigation of a failed build,

  • assign investigation of a build configuration problem or failed test form the plugin to another team member,

  • viewing build failures, which you are supposed to investigate, and giving up investigation when the problem is fixed,

  • applying quick-fixes to the results of remote code analysis: the problematic code can be highlighted in the editor and you can work with a complete report of the project inspection results in a toolwindow,

  • downloading and viewing only the new inspection results that appeared since the last build was created

  • work with the results of server-side code duplicates search in the dedicated toolwindow,

  • accessing the server-side code coverage information and visualizing the portions of code covered by unit tests,

  • viewing build compilation errors in a separate tab of the build results pane with navigation to source code,

  • re-rununing failed tests from IntelliJ IDEA plugin using JUnit or TestNG,

  • opening the patch from the change details web page (for this feature to work you need to have IDEA X installed).
