Intellij

It's recommended that if you are working with InterMine's Java code, you use an IDE. Our favourite IDE at InterMine towers is Intellij.

Intellij has a Gradle plugin, so, it automatically handles Gradle projects correctly. Here are detailed instructions on how to use Intellij:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/gradle.html

Depending on your Intellij version, you should:

Select New >
Select Project from existing source >
Then select the build.gradle file from your bio/sources directory.

Warning Don't select the build.gradlefiles from your sources. Instead, select the build.gradle file from the bio/sources directory. The dependencies are listed in the main project's build.gradle file. If you load each subproject by itself, Intellij won't load the dependencies correctly.

You should import two projects for your mine:

flymine (webapp and dbmodel)
flymine-bio-sources

If you are working with the core InterMine code for whatever reason, we have several projects to import:

plugin
intermine
bio
bio-sources
bio-postprocess

Errors#

You'll get errors at first as the dependencies are not in place. Build each project, and the dependencies will be downloaded and put on your classpath. We recommend you check the option "Build project automatically", located under Compiler Settings.

Running Unit Tests#

To run a unit test, right click on the "test" task and execute. "Test" is under "Verification".
