But let's not mix recreation with religions.

By the Eight, I hadn't seen that! But in the end, I suppose you're right...

Just updated the API to 100021 for IntelliJ IDEA editor.
Installation:
Go to the "Configure SDK" dialog, click on LuaJ, and add the extracted ZIP archive folder to the classpath.
The lua files will be searched for the functions etc. and you are able to use them in your code afterwards with autocompletion etc.

**Baertram** · 06/03/18, 02:07 PM

IntelliJ api support files for the luaJ SDK for ESOUI API 100023.
Some contents are double, some might be missing.
Updated the constant values from teh esoui wiki pages, and used the parser components of "reaby" to build the classes, functions and some other file contents. Thx reaby!

IntelliJ IDEA - luaJ SDK für ESOUI "Summerset" API 100023

**Baertram** · 09/18/18, 06:28 AM

IntelliJ API support for ESOU 100025

And here are some parse tools, based on PHP, which are able to parse the ESOUIDocumentationPxx.txt file.
You can use them to parse the txt file for a new API and build your own IntelliJ compatible lua files for autocompletion and lookup of constant values.
An addon "Dumpvars" is included so you can parse the constants from the txt, put the created file into the addon, run the addon and dump the constants + the sound names to the savedvars. Then puzt the result back into lua files for IntelliJ.
-> Credit for the parsing stuff go to "Reaby"! Thanks a lot for your work

Be sure to read the included howto txt file for more information.

Im using this from now on, however im having issues with the eso-api.classes.lua file not showing up at all on autocomplete or intellisense on it

Any suggestions? The other files seem to be picking up my CTRL+SPACE

CTRL+click does not work as there is missing an entry for each object/class in file eso-api.classes.lua like this

Lua Code:

AddOnManager = {}

This would make IntelliJ find the definition.

But the current file supports the function name help using CTRL+sapce, e.g. type
"AddOnManager."
and then press CTRL+space

r4cken · 11/30/18, 03:24 PM

I used the latest files from API 100025 but writing AddOnManager brings up nothing at all

**Baertram** · 11/30/18, 03:35 PM

Try out "AddOnManager." (with the . at the end) and then CTRL+space.

r4cken · 11/30/18, 03:40 PM

That brings up nothing as well. I even added each object like AddOnManager = {} at the top of the classes file.

Hm, maybe depends on the lua plugin then.
I'm using the current IntelliJ v2018.3 with the "working" lua plugin (EmmyLua) and it brings up the following for me:

Adding the = {} will just make you "navigate to the file" via STRG+left mouse click.

r4cken · 11/30/18, 04:43 PM

Oh i was not using emmylua, i just searched in the repository for "lua" and installed that just like the start of the thread suggested. Im using the community edition 2018.2.6

So should i not add the "= {}" parts or like another "guide" had it was like

AnimationObjectTranslate = AnimationObject

*EDIT*
It works perfectly now with emmylua! Thank you so much Baertram!

Double tapping shift also can bring up a symbol / workspace search (Or the old fashioned Ctrl+Shift+F). I've found Ctrl + Space usually brings up the autocompletion options where appropriate (I think it depends on if I have full inspection turned on or not). I highly recommend the experience you currently get with IntelliJ and Lua. While it is not perfect (you will definitely be dealing with beta status plugins) I find that it is in general superior to the alternatives.

Cheers,

Due to the non compatible version of silvanaar with the most up2date IntelliJ Community version 19.1 I had to switch to EmmyLua plugin.
It is working but the auto complete and CTRL+click on functions and variables sometimes does not work properly anymore

If anyone got a fix or hint how to het this to work reliably again, I'd be really glad to know it.
Thank you.

Edit:
Due to whatever settings my normal build in LUA plugin for IntelliJ was not updated to the newest version and always shown as not compatible.
I have disabled and chanegd a lot of settings until I saw the "Update" button and now it's up2date again (LUA IntelliJ plugin, version 1.0.117).
Now the CTRL+left click to jump to the declaration works again, but not for the classes like EVENT_MANAGER anymore (mooooh!).
So I reinstaleld EmmyLUA and enabled it, and now the CTRL+CLICK does not work at all anymore. So build in IntelliJ "silvanaar" lua plugins support at least half of the jumpings... And CTRL+SPACE seems to be working with EmmyLUA as well for most of the stuff.
It used to work for all of them though, too bad.

As EmmyLUA seems to be the only working CTRL+SPACE autocomplete lua plugin which is comaptible with the generated ESOUI lua files I'll keep usign this for the moment. Build in "sylvanaar" Lua plugin just works for CTRL+left click for variables in the same files. It's not even jumping to the declaration if it was declared in another file (like it was in the past). But EmmyLUA enither does nro did this in the past (too bad).
Hopefully they will fix this. I'll try to raise a bug for the sylvanaar plugin: https://bitbucket.org/sylvanaar2/lua...ew&status=open

Edit2:
Seems this bug is already known since 2018 but no solved or worked on yet :-(

Looks like they put out a new version of Lua plugin yesterday. Lame -- will eventually have to see for myself what is up next time I am doing more dev. Thanks for the heads up!

**Baertram** · 07/22/19, 04:18 AM

Updated my reply 1 post above. The bug in silvanaar is already known since 2018 but not yet resolved.
Trying to find equal "bug report" in EmmyLUA or raise one

Edit:
Raised one as most bugs are in raised Chinese language and I wasn't able to find a similar one:

Auto completion (and harcoded helper files) for "IntelliJ IDEA"

Updated: 31st October 2020

DewiMorgan · 12/30/20, 01:18 PM

Thank you so much!
I've used IntelliJ for PHP and Java at work for the last few years now, and love it.
I didn't even know they had a community version, so that alone made me happy, let alone your work with getting the ESO commands to autocomplete!

**Baertram** · 12/31/20, 09:29 AM

You are welcome.

Most current version can be found here:
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info...Luaplugin.html

To the mass:
I'd be happy if I get any support of others devs here using the parsers after ESO APiversion changes + adding new static / removing obsolete variables to/from the static file.
Maintinign all the addons often does not provide the time to keep these files here updated as well. At least running the PHP the parser scripts on new ESOUIDocumentationxx.txt files, creating the XML json + a quick check if all created files are valid without errors, and the distribution here or even at githubg would be a real help.

I've created a github repo for the parser scripts, and the static file:
IntelliJ ESOUI AutoCompletion

If anyone wants to contribute, send me a request please.
Many thanks

Happy to do whatever I can to help, but I'm wondering if there isn't some way in IntelliJ just to point the "libs" folder to an unzipped copy of the source and have it pick up from there, then people could just grab the latest source zipfile from ESOUI without us needing to do any extra work.

Mind you, I've already been briefly futzing with getting that to work today, and had no luck. Whereas, yours works perfectly.
