Building / developing the plugin

For building the project, the Gradle IntelliJ plugin is used.

# linux & macOS
./gradlew buildPlugin
# windows
gradlew buildPlugin

To test your development, use task runIde which will automatically run an Intellij instance to test your new version of detekt plugin.

# linux & macOS
./gradlew runIde
# windows
gradlew runIde

Also install the current Detekt IntelliJ Plugin version to verify you do not introduce new issues.
