Plugin Not Working After Upgrade to 2019.1.3
Answered
I recently upgraded to IntelliJ 2019.1.3 and the plugin no longer shows when I run the Plugin Configuration. Whats more the usual place where plugins where kept namely ${idea}/${version}/.IntelliJIdea/system/plugin-sandbox/plugins is no longer there, and the .IntelliJIdea folder has been moved out of the version and into the root installation path of IntelliJ. How can I fix this?

Please check "Sandbox Home" path of your IntelliJ Platform SDK in Project Structure dialog. Eventually recreating SDK from scratch will fix it.
I've recreated the IntelliJ SDK and my JDK from scratch. I've reinstalled IntelliJ but the issue persists. The sandbox home for the IntelliJ SDK is ..\IntelliJUltimate\.IntelliJIdea\system\plugins-sandbox . Should this be switched to something else?
The sandbox path can be anything according to your personal preferences. It should just be unique per test/run-environment.
Did you try full Rebuild? See also http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/ide_development_instance.html#the-development-instance-sandbox-directory
I had to manually create the ../plugins-sandbox/plugins, ../plugins-sandbox/plugins/[my plugin]/META-INF and ../plugins-sandbox/plugins/[my plugin]/classes and copy over the things inside of the output directory in order for the Plugin Instance to recognize my plugin when I ran it.
That shouldn't be necessary at all. Please create issue in IDEA YouTrack project if you encounter similar thing again and provide all log folder as ZIP. Thanks!
