Running the project

LogService and PersistentStateComponent

To find the IDEA log look at the $PROJECT_DIR/build/idea-sandbox/system/log /idea.log file. A simple command to do this (from the project directory) is:

find . -name "idea.log" | xargs tail -f | grep MyPlugin

To find the "logServiceData.xml" take a look at the $PROJECT_DIR/build /idea-sandbox/config/options/logServiceData.xml file. A simple command to do this (from the project directory) is:

find . -name "logServiceData.xml" | xargs subl -n

Also, to delete this file, if it gets too big:

find . -name "logServiceData.xml" | xargs rm

Git

Change master to main (2020-07-16)

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) points out that "Master-slave is an oppressive metaphor that will and should never become fully detached from history" as well as "In addition to being inappropriate and arcane, the master-slave metaphor is both technically and historically inaccurate." There's lots of more accurate options depending on context and it costs me nothing to change my vocabulary, especially if it is one less little speed bump to getting a new person excited about tech.

You might say, "I'm all for not using master in master-slave technical relationships, but this is clearly an instance of master-copy, not master-slave" but that may not be the case. Turns out the original usage of master in Git very likely came from another version control system (BitKeeper) that explicitly had a notion of slave branches.
