Version incompatibility cursive+IntelliJ+lein (SOLVED)

Hello everybody!

I’m trying to set up my dev environment for working on defold editor. The editor is built and run succesfully with the command line tools and i thought to move forward and try the Cursive IntelliJ IDE.

I’ve followed this tutorial:

github.com

defold/defold/blob/editor-dev/editor/README_CURSIVE.md

## Installing Cursive

1. Download and install **IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition** from here: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download.

2. Start IntelliJ and customize it to your liking. You might want to disable some of the plugins that you know for sure you will not use.

3. On the Welcome Screen, click the **Configure** button and choose **Plugins** from the dropdown menu that appears. You can also reach the Plugins dialog from **Settings > Plugins** within IntelliJ.

4. In the plugins window, press **Browse Repositories...** and search for "Cursive". Install Cursive using the green install button, then close the Browse Repositories window and the Settings window. Restart IntelliJ when it prompts you to.

## Configuring Cursive preferences

Once the IntelliJ restarts, we should make some changes to the Cursive preferences to make it easier to work with. On the Welcome Screen, click the **Configure** button and choose **Preferences** from the dropdown menu and select the **Languages & Frameworks > Clojure** page.

1. Enable **Rainbow parentheses**. This colors parentheses and brackets in the editor so it will be easier to distinguish between nested scopes.

2. Disable **Highlight unresolved symbols**. For some reason Cursive is not able to resolve all the symbols in the editor project. When enabled, this clutters up the editor with a lot of noisy highlighting that doesn't really help.

3. Disable **Load out-of-date file dependencies transitively**. By default, Cursive will automatically reload any edited files that are referenced from the file you're reloading. This can cause type errors if a referenced file re-defines a Java class. It is better to manually refresh only the changed forms, because once you trigger a type error the editor needs to be restarted to get it back on track.

When i try to add the run configuration (step Setting up the Defold Editor project/5) based on leiningen things don’t work and i get the following message in the IntelliJ log:

Note the last lines. It seems like an incompatibility issue. I’m missing what ‘build 203.0’ is though.

Here is some version info on my env:

os: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
openjdk version “11.0.2” 2019-01-15
intelliJ version: ideaIC-2019.3.5.tar.gz
cursive plugin version: 1.10.0-2019.3
leininger: Leiningen 2.9.1 on Java 11.0.2 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM

Btw, i’ve checked the compatibility chart for cursive plugin and it is supposed to work with the intellyJ version i have:

Any ideas what could be wrong ?

Let me see about getting you some support. Hang tight!

britzl · January 17, 2021, 12:35pm

Could you please try updating this?

otsakir · January 17, 2021, 6:26pm

Actually, i downgraded it to make it work

After some failed attempts i ended up using cursive-1.9.4-2019.3 successfully. I did the installation manually by copying the files of the plugin under the /plugins directory of intelliJ.
Plugin installation through the IDE can only install a single cursive plugin version. Which in my case didn’t work.

Thanks @britzl
