Hey guys I was trying out Fleet and really liked it but I had a hard time configuring it. I wanted to install a plugin but I couldn't find an option to add plugin anywhere.

Does anyone know how to install plugins in JetBrains Fleet?

  • Great question.. I'm really eager to find out new features in fleet, but without some extensions like todo tree or so on that I have in VS Code, I cannot work efficiently. So I guess I will wait for that – Yalchin Mammadli Nov 12 '22 at 12:29

I wanted to install a plugin but I couldn't find an option to add plugin anywhere.

That's because Fleet does not support custom (non-bundled) plugins yet (as of October 2022).

Does Fleet support plugins?

Fleet will have its own extensibility model, and we are also looking into the option of re-using existing IntelliJ-platform plugins for Fleet. We will provide more information about these extensibility options at a later date.

https://blog.jetbrains.com/fleet/2022/10/introducing-the-fleet-public-preview/

At the same time, we’re working in the following areas:

  • API support and an SDK for plugin authors – Given that Fleet has a distributed architecture, we need to work on simplifying the approach for plugin authors. While we guarantee that we’ll be providing a platform for extending Fleet, we do ask for a bit more patience in this area.

With latest fleet preview, you could install plugins manually, e.g., use the famous vim plugin for fleet as an example:

  1. Download the latest zip from here

  2. Unzip the download file

  3. Copy the unzipped folder to the plugin folder of JetBrains fleet app, I installed the latest fleet preview by JetBrains toolbox, and the cp command would be:

cp -af ~/path/to/download/fleet.fleetVim-1.13.95 "~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/Fleet/ch-1/1.13.92/Fleet.app/Contents/Frameworks/FleetBackend 2023.1 EAP.app/Contents/plugins/"
  • Locations of plugin directories can be found here
  1. Restart the fleet app and choose Enable vim emulation from the General tab of the fleet app preference

There's no information on how to install it, but I notice that the Svelte plugin claims to be Fleet compatible:
