JetBrains & Fleet + LoopCLI

JetBrains IDEs and Fleet give you powerful project-aware tooling. Follow this guide to integrate LoopCLI with the IDE of your choice (IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, Fleet, etc.).

1. Install LoopCLI & ensure PATH access

• macOS/Linux: add the LoopCLI binary to /usr/local/bin or export it in your shell profile.
• Windows: add the installation folder (%USERPROFILE%\.loopcli) to your system PATH and restart the IDE.
• Confirm inside the IDE terminal: loopcli version.

2. Create a Run Configuration

1. Go to Run → Edit Configurations…
2. Click + → Shell Script (or External Tool in older IDEs).
3. Set:
   • Name: LoopCLI Run Current
   • Script path: loopcli
   • Program arguments: loop run $FileNameWithoutExtension$
   • Working directory: $ProjectFileDir$
4. Duplicate the configuration for deploys (loop deploy … --activate).

Now you can run loops with Ctrl+Shift+F10 (Windows/Linux) or ⌃⇧R (macOS).

3. Tool window shortcuts

• Pin the built-in terminal to the bottom and run loopcli loop run --watch your-loop for live logs.
• Add External Tools entries for connectors (Slack, Stripe, Supabase) so you can run setup commands without leaving the IDE.
• Use Favorites to bookmark .loop.yml files you edit frequently.

4. Fleet-specific tips

Fleet auto-detects loopcli if it’s on PATH. Open the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P) and search for LoopCLI commands after creating run configurations—they sync across machines.

5. Snippets & templates

• Create Live Templates (Settings → Editor → Live Templates) for HTTP steps, retries, and connector scaffolds. Example:

name: $NAME$
 type: http
 config:
   method: $METHOD$
   url: $URL$

• Scope the template to YAML so it auto-inserts inside .loop.yml files.

6. Troubleshooting

Next steps

• Combine JetBrains automation with Starter Recipes to ship loops quickly.
• Explore Account & Billing to manage team access when multiple developers run loops from the IDE.
