[EDIT: Updates for patch release 1.3.1]
Hello folks,
We’ve updated the Haxe Toolkit plugin for IntelliJ IDEA to work with all versions through 2020.2.1. We’ve also added a ton of other features such as metadata handling, better type checking, ‘final’ support, unparseable code highlighting, and a host of other useful fixes and additions.
You can pick it up at the usual places:
- Inside of the IntelliJ IDE: Find it in your menus:
File -> Settings... -> Plugins -> Haxe Toolkit - On github. (https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/intellij-haxe/releases/tag/1.3.1)
- On JetBrains’ plugin repository.

Enjoy!
Change notes:
1.3.1 (HaxeFoundation release)
- Allow both 'inline' and 'extern' to exist on functions and vars.
- Correctly resolve when 'using' static extensions such as StringTools.
- Correctly resolve expressions inside of parenthesis.
1.3 (HaxeFoundation release)
- IDEA Versions 2020.2, 2020.1 and 2019.3 support.
- Add fine-grained control of the semantic annotator to the Settings panel. (File->Settings->Editor->Inspections->Haxe)
- Rewrite metadata handling:
- Allow metadata at all positions.
- Validate object syntax in compile-time metadata.
- Parse code in run-time metadata, and highlight errors.
- Check @forward(<names>) for existing method names.
- Allow completion within metadata parens.
- Add UI to allow reformatting and color options.
- Allow immediate array accesses on literal arrays. (e.g. var a=["1","2"][1];)
- Fix several issues with type checking, particularly when generics are involved.
- Allow non-standard orderings of class and method modifiers (e.g. final, private, extern) and warn on duplicates.
- Recover from circular class dependencies.
- Better error messages for a number of parsing errors.
- Fix not finding packages which begin with and underscore. (Issue 941)
- Handle function-level type parameters during semantic checks. (Issue 973)
- Don't use class type parameters when resolving static function parameters.
- Better handling of function types an mismatched assignments. (Issues 943, 773)
- Fix crash when reading libraries if the library name was empty. (Issue 949)
- Haxe 4: Allow dotted identifiers in conditional compilation.
- Haxe 4: Allow dotted meta names.
- Haxe 4: Allow 'final' on var declarations in switch cases.
- Mark attempts to write to 'final' variables.
- Handle Map types as extended map types. (e.g. IntMap, StringMap, etc.)
- Better constant detection and handling of default parameters for methods.
- Detect function type constants and report accordingly.
- Detect initialization calculations containing only constants as constant.
- Detect several standard library functions as returning constants when their arguments are constant. (e.g. Std.int("1"))
- Detect identifiers/constants referencing other constants as still constant.
- Detect enums without parameters as constants.
- Better flagging of errors when default parameters are not constants.
- Much better handling of generics throughout, including type error checking code.
- Use type parameters from left-hand (e.g. left.right) expressions when resolving right-hand fields and method return types.
- Color unparseable data when typing; shows developers where functionality is limited while code is invalid.
- Better handling/recovery of errors in String Interpolation. (e.g. '${expr}')
- Allow/disallow variable declarations in various places.
- Require semi-colon on return statements in non-lambda bodies.
- Better recovery on class parsing errors.
- Fix PsiInvalidElementAccessExceptions (Issue #953)
- Upgrade smart-enter statement fixer for 'if' statements.
- Better handling of missing bodies when using smart-enter.
- Properly handle generics on typedefs over generic types.
- Properly unify EnumValue with enum values.
- Fix indenting for map comprehensions.
- Fix and update inspection descriptions in settings dialog.
- Implement "Implement methods" for missing interface functions.
- Fix the case where generic parameters used in superclasses were not being correctly translated through the type hierarchy when resolving (or were resolving to the wrong type).
