AppLifecycleListener and JetBrains Gateway

Answered

Created January 15, 2022 12:44

I've been testing a plugin with JetBrains Gateway.

An `AppLifecycleListener` registered in my plugin is executed when executed in a "regular" IDE, but it's not executed when executed in the Gateway server-side IDE instance.

This is the snippet to register it:

<listener topic="com.intellij.ide.AppLifecycleListener"
          class="my.StartupListener"
          activeInHeadlessMode="true" activeInTestMode="true"/>

Is it somehow possible to execute AppLifecycleListener for an IDE launched by Gateway?
I have a workaround in place now, but would prefer to avoid it.

Thanks!
Joachim

Hey Joachim, as I see from the code many functions in the AppLifecycleListener are never called because of the headless mode, could be that we miss appStarted/appClosing in our Gateway server appStarter, would you create a ticket for this ?
