Hello @dev, like probably most of you, I am using IntelliJ to work on Flink. Lately I needed to also work with flink-python, and thus was wondering about how to properly set it up to work in IntelliJ. So far, I have done the following:
1. Install the Python plugin 2. Set up a custom Python SDK using a virtualenv 3. Configure the flink-python module to use this Python SDK (rather than a Java SDK) 4. Install as many of the Python dependencies as possible when IntelliJ prompted me to do so This got me into a mostly working state, for example I can run tests from the IDE, at least the ones I tried so far. However, there are two concerns: a) Step (3) will be undone on every Maven import since Maven sets the SDK for the module b) Step (4) installed most, but a couple of Python dependencies could not be installed, though so far that didn't cause noticeable problems I'm wondering if there are additional / different steps to do, specifically for (a), and maybe how the PyFlink developers are configuring this in their IDE. The IDE setup guide didn't seem to contain information about that (only about separately setting up this module in PyCharm). Ideally, we could even update the IDE setup guide. Best Ingo
