Can't Integrate new YourKit version with IntelliJ 2020.2

[kevingre]

Just upgraded to the latest version of YourKit (2020.7) but can't seem to get it to integrate into the IntelliJ IDE (2020.2.1).

I choose the default directory:
/Users/kevin/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.2/plugins (where "kevin" is my username)

I can see the plugin is placed in that directory: yourkit-for-idea.jar

But upon launch of the IDE, the YourKit action is not on the toolbar.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Actually figured this out but am leaving it in case this helps others. I use the IDEA Toolbox to manage my IntelliJ installation and it actually uses a different directory for the plugins.

You can see which directory is being used by looking in your IntelliJ log file (via Help -> Show Log In Finder). Search for "newPluginsDir" and you will see which directory it is using.

just copy the jar file (yourkit-for-idea.jar) from wherever YourKit installed it, into the above directory (YourKit installed mine into "/Users/kevin/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.2/plugins" (where "kevin" is my username).

Hope that helps!

Thx,
Kevin

Update: We've just released the build #376 which should solve the problem.
