Help Needed: How to get project instance in AbstractAction implementation for LocalTerminalAction.

[Rahul Khandelwal <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

This is related to terminal improvement.
Whenever we select *Window -> IDE Tools -> Terminal*, we most likely want
to do one of the following -
1. Run a maven command OR
2. Run a gradle command OR
3. Run an ant command OR
4. Any other action which is more often than not involved with the project
directory.

So looking at above use cases, it makes sense that Terminal should by
default open in the project directory of the opened file.

This will require *LocalTerminalAction *to be aware of either context or
opened file object so that it can lookup for project.
*LocalTerminalAction *extends from *TerminalAction *which in turn extends
from *AbstractAction*.

Here I am struggling with injecting lookup context or fileobject
in LocalTerminalAction class.
I have tried the following ways, but it is not working -
1. I implemented *ContextAwareAction *action in LocalTerminalAction and
tried to lookup for project in createContextAwareInstance method.
2. I added the constructor argument *FileObject opendFile* in
LocalTerminalAction's constructor. From the fileobject, I then tried to
lookup for the project.

But none of the above methods are working.

Can someone help me solve this problem?

Rahul Khandelwal

Have you tried to generate New/Action/Conditinally Enabled action using the 
action wizard? Does that work? It should. Then it'd be just about finding the 
difference between newly generated class and the TerminalAction (there are 
going to be many - TerminalAction seems old fashioned).
