Gnome search provider for Jetbrains projects

I no longer use or maintain this code.

Add recent projects of various Jetbrains IDEs to Gnome search.

Note: This project is not affiliated with or endorsed by JetBrains.

Supports

• Android Studio (toolbox)
• CLion (toolbox)
• GoLand (toolbox)
• IDEA (toolbox)
• IDEA Community Edition (Arch package)
• IDEA Community Edition (toolbox)
• PHPStorm (toolbox)
• PyCharm (toolbox)
• Rider (toolbox)
• RubyMine (toolbox)
• RustRover (toolbox)
• WebStorm (toolbox)

Under the hood this is a small systemd user service which implements the search provider DBus API and exposes recent projects from Jetbrains IDEs.

Installation

Packages & binaries

I provide binary packages for Archlinux at home:swsnr:owned.

From source

1. Install rust

   Note: This program depends on Glib and Gio. Building requires the corresponding headers to be installed.

2. Build make build

3. Install sudo make install

   This installs to /usr/local/.

   Note: You really do need to install as root, system-wide. A per-user installation to $HOME does not work as of Gnome 40, because Gnome shell doesn't load search providers from $HOME (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3060).

Debugging

To enable debug information for the service run systemctl --user service-log-level gnome-search-providers-jetbrains.service info. Use debug instead of info for even more verbose logging. The default level is notice.

Alternatively start the executable directly with RUST_LOG=debug or RUST_LOG=trace.
