Updates & Notifications

Intellij SFCC tells you about new releases in three ways: a What’s new card when a release is published, a balloon when the IDE can install the update, and the release history under More › All Release Notes. Notices from the Intellij SFCC team and error reports use the same IDE notifications. None of this needs an account or a license

Release announcements

The plugin reads the public Intellij SFCC release catalog 5 seconds after the IDE starts and then every 5 minutes. When it finds a release you haven't seen yet, it shows two things:

• The What’s new in version card in the middle of the IDE window, under the line JetBrains · New release · Installed your version and the release date
• A balloon, Intellij SFCC version is available, with "See what's new. You have your version installed"

The card lists the release's resources. Release notes is always there ("Features, improvements and fixes in" version, with its address), and each blog post of the release gets a Blog post entry. Every entry has two buttons:

Click Dismiss or press Esc to close the card. Dismissing it, or opening one of its pages, marks the release as seen, so it isn't announced again. The card stays open when you click elsewhere in the IDE, and if it closes any other way, for example with the project, it comes back later

A few rules decide when the card appears:

• Only the newest published release is announced, never an older one
• The card waits while you work in another application or the project is still opening, and shows when you come back to the IDE window. It doesn't take the keyboard focus from the editor
• On a fresh install, the card shows the release notes of your installed version once, with JetBrains · Your installed version and the balloon Intellij SFCC version release notes
• If the catalog can't be reached, nothing is shown and the plugin tries again 5 minutes later

The balloon stays in the IDE's Notifications tool window after it closes, so you can come back to it:

After an update

The first time the IDE starts with a newer Intellij SFCC version, the plugin opens what's new in that version in an IDE tab: the release's blog post, or its release notes when it has no post. This happens once per version, and the What’s new card isn't shown for the same release. Without the IDE's embedded browser, the page opens in your default browser instead

Release history

Open More › Plugin › All Release Notes to see every release in the What's new in Intellij SFCC dialog. The dialog opens with your installed release selected

The Releases list on the left shows each release, newest first, with its date. A newer release than yours is tagged New, and yours is tagged Installed. Your installed release is always in the list, even before the catalog loads or when you're offline

The right side shows the selected release: its version with an Update available or Installed badge, the line "Released" date, and "You have" your version for a newer release

The line at the bottom tells you where you stand:

Pages in an IDE tab

Open in IDE, Read release notes and some notice links open the page in an editor tab with the IDE's embedded browser. The bar above the page shows its address in a read-only field, and Open in Browser opens the current page in your default browser. Opening the same address again brings its tab to the front instead of opening a second one, and a link that the page opens in a new window gets a tab of its own

If your default browser can't be started, the plugin shows Couldn't open your browser with "Open the release again from All Release Notes, or copy the address from the IDE tab."

Plugin updates

While a project is open, the plugin asks the IDE every 3 hours whether a newer Intellij SFCC version is available on JetBrains Marketplace. The first check runs 3 hours after the project opens. When there is one, you get the balloon Intellij SFCC update available: "Please click on the link below to update the plugin to the latest version"

Click Install version version. The background task Installing Intellij SFCC version version runs the IDE's plugin update, and the IDE shows the result as it does for any plugin update

You can also update from Settings › Plugins at any time, or with Update Intellij SFCC in the release history

Notices from the Intellij SFCC team

The Intellij SFCC team can post a short notice to the IDE. It arrives as an information, warning or error balloon in the INTELLIJSFCC group:

• A notice can have up to three links. Each link opens in your default browser or in an IDE tab, as the notice sets it
• A notice waits until an IDE window is active, so it doesn't appear while you're in another application
• Each notice is shown once, and stays in the Notifications tool window after the balloon closes

Error reports

When the plugin hits an unexpected error, the IDE shows it in its error indicator in the status bar. Open the error from there and submit it: Intellij SFCC sends error reports through JetBrains Marketplace, so they reach the plugin's developers with the stack trace

To describe a problem in your own words, use More › Plugin › Report Bug, see Actions & Shortcuts

Turn balloons off

Every balloon on this page belongs to the INTELLIJSFCC notification group. Open Settings › Appearance & Behavior › Notifications, find INTELLIJSFCC and choose how it shows, for example No popup. The messages still go to the Notifications tool window. The What’s new card isn't a balloon: click Dismiss and it doesn't come back for that release
