WebStorm plugin!

Hi, 

** UPDATE 2 | 8 August **

An auspicious evening to start coding! 

Development has begun. We are several hours in and are starting to make some (slow) progress.

** UPDATE 1 **

I am currently investigating how to make this for the IntelliJ suite of tools.

I will keep you posted.

Cheers,

- Paul

Hey, no problem! Congrats!

Hi, 
** UPDATE 3 | 12 March **

Ok so that took a bit longer than expected..

Now available under
"File" -> "Settings" -> "Plugins" 
Click
"Browse repositories"
Search for Codeivate or click "Fun stuff" category.
Install and restart. 

You will need to go into "File" -> "Settings" -> "Codeivate"
and enter your auth details. When you start coding you should see current language and streak down the bottom right-hand side of the screen

Thanks for your patience!

I've tried it on Webstorm 8 EAP and PyCharm and I got
Plugin 'com.codeivate.plugin' failed to initialize and will be disabled. Please restart WebStorm.
com.intellij.diagnostic.PluginException: com/codeivate/plugin/CodeivateApplicationPlugin : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 [Plugin: com.codeivate.plugin]

Looks like a Java version issue, I will recompile it under 1.6

I've spent a bit of time today using the 0.1.7 version of the plugin on WebStorm 7, and everything seems to be working great. I did, however, notice a (possible) bug that's a bit of an annoyance: With the plugin enabled, any time a user hits Apply or OK, they're alerted with a message box of the success of their authentication, even if they haven't changed anything in the Codeivate tab or navigated to it. That aside, thanks for the plugin.

Thanks for your feedback Diego Pamio & Charles Grunwald :)

Hi, is there any chance we could get some sort of widget or toolbar visible in Jetbrains' IDEs so we can watch our progress while we're coding (instead of having to navigate into the settings menus)? This would be really neat.

Hi Cody,

Just checking but do you know if you click on the bottom right and it should popup with the Codeivate settings page? (You don't have to navigate through file menu->settings)

The bottom right currently shows the language you are programming in and the length of your current streak.

What else would you like to see there? Overall level? Percentage remaining to next level?

Also there is a Chrome plugin https://github.com/codeivate/Codeivate-Chrome (a slightly older version is available in the chrome app store https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/codeivat... )
That has HTML5 popups (usually down the bottom right of your screen in Windows) when you:
- gain a level
- gain an extra hour on Codeivate
- Code but then stop coding for 10 minutes (Newer version makes this disabled by default I found it can  get a bit annoying)

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Yeah I just realised that. How about a little blue box with F in it (like what used to be on the leaderboards) when a user has entered a flow state, and a little green box with P in it for when someone is programming. Both can be on the status bar with the stuff that is already there.

Also, maybe a ballon popup that gives a brief overview (i.e. overall level, the progress bar, or something along these lines) when you single click on or hover over the current status box? You could make double clicking bring up the main popup, or even have a right click context menu that gives a user options?

Also, are you going to add revision control and testing metrics (i.e. how often a user commits, or how long a test continues to fail etc.)? Or is that out of scope of this project?

Also, what about achievements, i.e. like trophies or xbox achievements? http://channel9.msdn.com/achievements The Visual Studio addon reminded me of them.

EDIT: I saw you are also a kiwi! Awesome!

F & P is a good idea! I don't know how easy it is to write a balloon in swing but I will add it to my list to check out.

In terms of VCS I would like to add it but only if it is going to be easy for people to setup and I haven't found a good way to do that yet. 

Achievements / milestones is something I plan to add in the future. 


Yeah Kiwis rock!

As for VCS, you could hook it into the VCS stuff for IntelliJ, if that's possible?

Hey Paul!

Been using the plugin on PhpStorm for a couple weeks now, it works great for the most part. There is one exception, detection of various SQL Dialects. Sometimes the plugin registers my coding in PostgreSQL, sometimes basic SQL. PhpStorm (and I'm assuming most/all other flavours of JetBrains IDE's) have settings to mark the dialects used by project directories, which I've marked as PostgreSQL.

Would it be possible to use that setting towards hinting which SQL language is being used?
