PsiAwareTextEditorProvider.createEditor is never invoked in 2023.2.5?
Answered
My plugin has a custom editor implementation and in my editor provider class it overrides the createEditor method. However, after upgrading to 2023.2.5 it is never invoked, and when I run the plugin in the debugger, I see that the PsiAwareTextEditorProvider.createEditor is also never invoked, instead it invokes createEditorBuilder. Is it a bug or am I supposed to override this method from now on?

I implemented the
createEditorBuildermethod and now the plugin works with 2023.2.5 but fails to compile with 2023.1.5 (obviously) so I'm wondering if the backwards-compatibility here is broken or there are ways around it.Hi Eugene,
I can see usages of
createEditor, so it's hard to say why it is not called in your case. If implementingcreateEditorBuilderfixes the issue for 2023.2.5, then it seems to be a proper fix. In case the API change is not backward compatible, then the solution is to release multiple plugin versions with the proper since-build/until-build values in plugin.xml.Please note that
PsiAwareTextEditorProvideris not part of the open API, and its compatibility with the older versions is not guaranteed.
