Hook for plugin uninstall process

Hi Bernard,

There is a `com.intellij.ide.plugins.PluginInstaller#addStateListener` though it is not a part of Open API therefore it is not guaranteed that this method would not be changed in the future.

Hi Ivan,

thank you for the answer,

I'll try it in ASAP

Hello,

Finally, I took time to test it.

It works, thanks you for the tip

Regards

PS: For anyone interested, here is the piece of code:

public class RegisterPluginInstallerStateListener implements StartupActivity {
  
  @Override
  public void runActivity(@NotNull Project project) {
    com.intellij.ide.plugins.PluginInstaller.addStateListener(new PluginStateListener() {
      @Override
      public void install(@NotNull IdeaPluginDescriptor ideaPluginDescriptor) {
      }
      
      @Override
      public void uninstall(@NotNull IdeaPluginDescriptor ideaPluginDescriptor) {
        try {
          String filename = "/tmp/zzz";
          File file = new File(filename);
          if (file.exists()) {
            file.delete();
          }
          file.createNewFile();
        } catch (IOException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
      }
    });
  }
}

Is this still the recommended way to achieve this? I am trying to prompt users to provide some feedback if they uninstall the plugin and this is not working for me. My code looks like:

import com.intellij.ide.BrowserUtil;
import com.intellij.ide.plugins.IdeaPluginDescriptor;
import com.intellij.ide.plugins.PluginInstaller;
import com.intellij.ide.plugins.PluginStateListener;
import com.intellij.openapi.project.Project;
import com.intellij.openapi.startup.StartupActivity;
import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;


public class PromptFeedbackAtUninstall implements StartupActivity {

    @Override
    public void runActivity(@NotNull Project project) {
        PluginInstaller.addStateListener(new PluginStateListener() {
            @Override
            public void install(@NotNull IdeaPluginDescriptor descriptor) {
            }

            @Override
            public void uninstall(@NotNull IdeaPluginDescriptor descriptor) {
                BrowserUtil.browse("https://www.mywebsite.com/feedback");
            }
        });
    }
}

Thanks.

How can I test this? I want to trigger this from an automated test, but couldn't find how to do that.

The closed I got was using:

PluginInstaller.prepareToUninstall(pluginDescriptor)

But it throws an exception because it initiates my plugin as a bundled one

pluginDescriptor.isBundled() == true

So.... How can I test an uninstall event?

How do you install your plugin in your test?

Using:

extends LightPlatformCodeInsightFixture4TestCase
