What Changed

Small bug not finding Intellij IDEA even though it's installed if the CLI is not present.

I didn't went ahead and implemented windows and linux because the changes would have been much greater and I'm trying to adhere to the small contributions or bugs guideline. I'm up to do it if you want though (I'm not really sure if this is a problem in other platforms). Open to feedback as well.

Why

There's a bug not finding Intellij IDEA on Mac.

UI Changes

Here's the fixed result:
image

As you can see in this image, I have Intellij installed and open (running it with npx t3 so you can see the difference) but it's not visible on the dropdown.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Note

Low Risk
Low risk, localized to editor detection/launch logic on macOS; main risk is incorrect .app path assumptions causing editors to appear/launch unexpectedly.

Overview
Fixes IntelliJ IDEA not appearing/launching on macOS when its CLI (idea) is not on PATH.

Adds optional appName to editor definitions plus a new isAppInstalled check for /Applications/<app>.app, and updates resolveAvailableEditors/resolveEditorLaunch to fall back to open -a <appName> --args ... when the app bundle exists. Tests are updated/extended to cover the new macOS fallback behavior.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 0a4a35d. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

Note

Fix IntelliJ not appearing in editor list when CLI is missing but app is installed on macOS

  • Adds appName metadata to the IntelliJ IDEA entry in EDITORS and a new isAppInstalled helper that checks for .app bundles in /Applications on macOS.
  • resolveAvailableEditors now includes editors whose .app bundle is detected even when no CLI command is found.
  • resolveEditorLaunch falls back to open -a <AppName> --args ... on macOS when the CLI is unavailable but the .app bundle is present, instead of returning the unavailable CLI command.

Macroscope summarized 0a4a35d.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved

This is a straightforward bug fix that adds macOS .app bundle detection as a fallback for editor detection. The changes are self-contained to editor launching logic with clear intent. The unresolved review comment is a low-severity concern about test coverage in CI, not a production code issue.

You can customize Macroscope's approvability policy. Learn more.

New tests silently pass without any assertions

Low Severity

Both new tests guard all their assertions behind if (!isAppInstalled(idea, "darwin")) return;, which checks the real filesystem for /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app. On any non-macOS machine or any macOS machine without IntelliJ installed (i.e., virtually every CI runner), the tests early-return and pass with zero assertions executed. This means the open -a fallback code path has no regression protection in CI. Since isAppInstalled uses raw statSync rather than the Effect FileSystem service, the check can't be mocked via layers either.

Approvability
Verdict: Approved
This is a straightforward bug fix that adds macOS .app bundle detection as a fallback for editor detection. The changes are self-contained to editor launching logic with clear intent. The unresolved review comment is a low-severity concern about test coverage in CI, not a production code issue.

New tests silently pass without any assertions
Low Severity
Both new tests guard all their assertions behind if (!isAppInstalled(idea, "darwin")) return;, which checks the real filesystem for /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app. On any non-macOS machine or any macOS machine without IntelliJ installed (i.e., virtually every CI runner), the tests early-return and pass with zero assertions executed. This means the open -a fallback code path has no regression protection in CI. Since isAppInstalled uses raw statSync rather than the Effect FileSystem service, the check can't be mocked via layers either.

What Changed
Small bug not finding Intellij IDEA even though it's installed if the CLI is not present.
I didn't went ahead and implemented windows and linux because the changes would have been much greater and I'm trying to adhere to the small contributions or bugs guideline. I'm up to do it if you want though (I'm not really sure if this is a problem in other platforms). Open to feedback as well.
Why
There's a bug not finding Intellij IDEA on Mac.
UI Changes
Here's the fixed result:
image
As you can see in this image, I have Intellij installed and open (running it with npx t3 so you can see the difference) but it's not visible on the dropdown.

Checklist
  •  This PR is small and focused
  •  I explained what changed and why
  •  I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  •  I included a video for animation/interaction changes
Note
Low Risk

Low risk, localized to editor detection/launch logic on macOS; main risk is incorrect .app path assumptions causing editors to appear/launch unexpectedly.
Overview

Fixes IntelliJ IDEA not appearing/launching on macOS when its CLI (idea) is not on PATH.
Adds optional appName to editor definitions plus a new isAppInstalled check for /Applications/<app>.app, and updates resolveAvailableEditors/resolveEditorLaunch to fall back to open -a <appName> --args ... when the app bundle exists. Tests are updated/extended to cover the new macOS fallback behavior.

Note
Fix IntelliJ not appearing in editor list when CLI is missing but app is installed on macOS
  • Adds appName metadata to the IntelliJ IDEA entry in EDITORS and a new isAppInstalled helper that checks for .app bundles in /Applications on macOS.
  • resolveAvailableEditors now includes editors whose .app bundle is detected even when no CLI command is found.
  • resolveEditorLaunch falls back to open -a <AppName> --args ... on macOS when the CLI is unavailable but the .app bundle is present, instead of returning the unavailable CLI command.

What Changed
Small bug not finding Intellij IDEA even though it's installed if the CLI is not present.
I didn't went ahead and implemented windows and linux because the changes would have been much greater and I'm trying to adhere to the small contributions or bugs guideline. I'm up to do it if you want though (I'm not really sure if this is a problem in other platforms). Open to feedback as well.
Why
There's a bug not finding Intellij IDEA on Mac.
UI Changes
Here's the fixed result:
image
As you can see in this image, I have Intellij installed and open (running it with npx t3 so you can see the difference) but it's not visible on the dropdown.

Checklist
  •  This PR is small and focused
  •  I explained what changed and why
  •  I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  •  I included a video for animation/interaction changes
Note
Low Risk

Low risk, localized to editor detection/launch logic on macOS; main risk is incorrect .app path assumptions causing editors to appear/launch unexpectedly.
Overview

Fixes IntelliJ IDEA not appearing/launching on macOS when its CLI (idea) is not on PATH.
Adds optional appName to editor definitions plus a new isAppInstalled check for /Applications/<app>.app, and updates resolveAvailableEditors/resolveEditorLaunch to fall back to open -a <appName> --args ... when the app bundle exists. Tests are updated/extended to cover the new macOS fallback behavior.

Note
Fix IntelliJ not appearing in editor list when CLI is missing but app is installed on macOS
  • Adds appName metadata to the IntelliJ IDEA entry in EDITORS and a new isAppInstalled helper that checks for .app bundles in /Applications on macOS.
  • resolveAvailableEditors now includes editors whose .app bundle is detected even when no CLI command is found.
  • resolveEditorLaunch falls back to open -a <AppName> --args ... on macOS when the CLI is unavailable but the .app bundle is present, instead of returning the unavailable CLI command.
Macroscope summarized 0a4a35d.

Approvability
Verdict: Approved
This is a straightforward bug fix that adds macOS .app bundle detection as a fallback for editor detection. The changes are self-contained to editor launching logic with clear intent. The unresolved review comment is a low-severity concern about test coverage in CI, not a production code issue.

New tests silently pass without any assertions
Low Severity
Both new tests guard all their assertions behind if (!isAppInstalled(idea, "darwin")) return;, which checks the real filesystem for /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app. On any non-macOS machine or any macOS machine without IntelliJ installed (i.e., virtually every CI runner), the tests early-return and pass with zero assertions executed. This means the open -a fallback code path has no regression protection in CI. Since isAppInstalled uses raw statSync rather than the Effect FileSystem service, the check can't be mocked via layers either.
