How to enable plugin detection by file extension?

Hey there,

I noticed IntelliJ detects absent plugins for certan files. How can I enable it for my language plugin?

Best,
Fedor

I have same issue with my plugin: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9193?pr=idea. Would please rescan my plugin so that IDE could suggest user to install when open file with extension "osql" or "odpsql"?

This should be available automatically for all plugins hosted on plugins.jetbrains.com having an EP of type com.intellij.openapi.fileTypes.FileTypeFactory

Seems it's not working for me. I'm using this extension point but IntelliJ doesn't suggest me to install the plugin https://github.com/fkorotkov/intellij-thrift/blob/master/src/com/intellij/plugins/thrift/ThriftFileTypeLoader.java

Fixed. IDEA should suggest your plugin now.

Works for me now indeed, thanks for fixing.

What was the issue? Broken/cached plugin metadata on plugins.intellij.net?

The problem is that Plugin Repository did not scan new plugins automatically.

Thank you very much!

I know that this is an old thread, but is there any information about how/when the plugin repository does this kind of scanning? I'm seeing the same behavior with my new plugin and I'm just curios if there's something wrong with my plugin, or if I need to just wait longer.

Can you create a new thread and provide more details?
