A Lean4 plugin for the Intellij Platform.

Installation

This plugin uses LSP4IJ for connecting to the Lean4 language server. Please install that first.

Using the IDE built-in plugin system: Settings/Preferences > Plugins > Marketplace > Search for "lean4ij" > Install
Manually: Download the latest release and install it manually using Settings/Preferences > Plugins > ⚙️ > Install plugin from disk... For nightly builds go to Actions/build, click the latest success run and scroll to the buttom.

The plugin should be compatible from version 2024.1 and can not support the earlier versions for depending some experimental api)

Usage

For currently there is no functionality of creating a project or setting up a project. Before open any lean project with it please first testing if the project has set up the toolchain correctly. Run any command like elan which lake or lake exe cache get, or lake build etc.

The LSP server is start as any lean file is open in the Editor and the editor gets focus. If it not behaves correctly, try firing a restart action.

Unicode is supported via live templates, for example typing \b1<SPACE> would result in 𝟙. For the limitation of live templates, the <SPACE> keypress is always required.

Infoview is supported using lean4-infoview, and currently it can be started from a browser or the internal JCEF infoview toolwindow. If it not behaves correctly, try firing a restart action too. There is also an infoview implemented in swing that's native in Jetbrains platform, it contains some basic functionally. Currently, some terminologies are messed up here: all the terminologies like "jcef", "external", "browser", "vscode" refer to the first one and terminologies like "swing", "internal", "native" refer to the second one.

Messages and logs about the lean lsp server can be found in the language server tool window after setting the level to message or trace, check more information about this in redhat-developer/lsp4ij.

Currently, the following actions are defined, mostly without default shortcut. Add one for them in Keymap (like Control Shift Enter for toggle infoview)

Settings

Since version 0.0.17 there are some settings available:

General setting is under Settings/Preferences > Leanguages & Frameworks > Lean4. Available settings are:
- (TODO) Enable Lsp Completion: Currently not support, waiting lsp4ij's new release. This is for currently discovering that sometimes lsp completion is slow. But it's enable by default.
Enable the native infoview, and timeout for popping the doc
Enable the external infoview
Extra css for external infoview. The most relevant I found is changing font-size

The inlay hints related settings are under Settings/Preferences > Inlay Hints > textmate:

Show inlay hint for omit type
Show value for placeholder _

Some color settings are under Settings/Preferences > Editor > Color Scheme > Lean Infoview. It contains color settings for both the external and internal infoview.

Development

Please check DEVELOP.md.

Known Issues

The plugin is still on an early stage, check ISSUES.md for known and logged issues, and TODO.md

Troubleshooting

Currently, the plugin seems capable to open the same project with vscode in the same time (Although it may consume twice the cpu and memory resources). Try open the project simultaneously in VSC and JB-IDE while troubleshooting.
Currently, some log is printed in the build window for the progressing file and the url to the external/jcef infoview, if something does not work normally, some log there may help.
There are also detailed logs for the lsp server supported by LSP4IJ via the "language servers" tool window after setting the debug/trace level to verbose.
Some logs are also sent in the standard log file like idea.log. For different systems the path of it's the following paths, it can also be opened via Help/Show log in ... in the menu.
- (Linux) $HOME.cache/JetBrains/<Product>/log/idea.log
- (Windows) $HOME\AppData\Local\JetBrains\<Product>\log\idea.log
- (Macos) ~/Library/Caches/<Product>/log/idea.log
If the IDE is freezing, try check also the threadDumps-freeze-*** files under the log folder.

For showing debug/trace log, add lean4ij:all in MENU > Help > Diagnostic Tools > Debug Log Settings and restart, see How-to-enable-debug-logging-in-IntelliJ-IDEA for more docs.
