How to use Flink IDE

[Piper Piper]

Hi,

Till now, I have only been using Flink binaries. How do I setup Flink in my IntelliJ IDE so that while running/debugging my Flink application program I can also step into the Flink source code?

Do I first need to import Flink's source repository into my IDE and build it?

Thanks,

Piper

Hi Piper,

Welcome to Flink Community. 

Import flink project like any other project into IDE, only difference while running is you have click on  "Include dependencies with "Provided" scope" in the main class run configurations. This bundles the Flink dependencies in the artifact, making it a fat jar and deploy it. 

Steps: 

1. Open main class run/debug configurations

2. Click on Include dependencies with Provided scope. 

3. Apply

Thanks,

Narasimha

Hi Piper,

to step into Flink source code, you don't need to import Flink sources manually or build Flink at all. It's enough to tell IntelliJ to also download sources for Maven dependencies. [1]

Flink automatically uploads the source code for each build. For example, see the 1.11.1 artifacts of flink-runtime. [2]
