Allow the compiler to be disabled about idea-plugin-protobuf HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for your message, Jason. If I understand your request, I think the plugin already supports the "feature".

You can disable compilation (generation of the source files from the .proto files) by going into the Project Structure panel. Click on the Facets entry under the Project Settings heading in the left pane and then click on the Protobuf Facet. You can disable the code generation globally or on a per-module basis by deselecting the "Enable compilation" checkbox.

Please review and let me know if this is sufficient or if you're asking for something entirely different.

Thank you.

Not really... it still seems to want protoc configured even if there is nothing to compile.

I don't want to use protoc at all, all I want is the editor integration. I've disabled auto-detection and there are no facets configured... seems like that should mean no compilation:

Configuring protoc, which requires native package installation to allow IDEA to function with this plugin enabled and compilation is disabled is a PITA.

Perhaps change the path check to only execute when and if there is a compilation that needs to be performed?

I'm getting a cannot find protoc in "" error in IDEA as well. My protocol jars are already compiled and I only need synatx highlighting really. Where/how can the protoc be either supplied via say a full path or such a check disabled?

Alexy, you enter the path to protoc in the IDEA Preferences > (Project Settings) Compiler > Protocol Buffers Compiler panel.

Excellent.
