How to make pycharm plugin compatible with any new version?
Answered
Hi - I have a simple PyCharm plugin that's not published to the repository - just installed via zip files. I've noticed that every time PyCharm updates to a new major version (I think every 20XX.Y), I have to update the plugin for it to be compatible.
I have sinceBuild set to an older version, but it seems that doesn't really solve my problem, and updating the "version" seems to do the trick. Here's what I did to make it work for 2020.1: https://github.com/galonsky/pycharm_copy_as_import/commit/cf312187cf59a09bfd3c82379d078a288bedbf1f
Is it necessary to up that version for every new IDE version? Or is there a better way?

You can add:
to intellij task in build.gradle file.
Then in plugin.xml, only include the since-build element.
Note that this necessarily won't make the plugin "compatible" with all versions above since-build, it just means that the plugin can be installed/enabled. Check out Plugin Verifier to see compatibility issues.
Thanks! I'll give that a try.
