Plugin in the secondary IDE does not get updated
Answered
Normally if I debug or run my plugin a secondary IDE gets opened with my plugin in it and it is always my current version.
This suddenly stopped working, the debugger tells me that the bytecode does not match.
I've tried deleting caches and rebuilding my project but it did not help, it seems like IntelliJ does not update the plugin in the secondary instance, what can cause this?

Please make sure there is no obsolete version of your plugin deployed in the debugging instance sandbox, see
http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/ide_development_instance.html#the-development-instance-sandbox-directory
I had deleted everything in there without any luck.
After reinstalling IntelliJ it started working again, so I don't exactly know what was wrong.
I see, that's really strange. Next time also try a full rebuild of your project.
I did indeed try that.
I've seen that behavior when the plugin you are developing is also installed in the primary instance of the IDE.
