Live Code Editing

Hello Everyone,
My apologies if this topic is in the wrong section, or if this is a question that has been asked already.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any way for multiple people to edit robot code at the same time, with the changes being live, such as a cloud IDE like Eclipse Che? I have not found anything related to wpilib support for anything other than eclipse, and while plugins like Saros exist, I am not sure if that would be the best choice for my team.

Any information relating to this topic at all would be very helpful.

Thank you!

I haven’t heard of anything like that personally but GitHub is what our team as well as many other teams use for code editing by multiple people so give that a try if you haven’t already but as for ‘google doc’ type editing, I haven’t heard of anything with WPILib support.

There’s no reason you couldn’t use a distributed editor to edit the code, you just wouldn’t be able to run it.

I’ve had looking at eclipse che/codeenvy on my (very large) list of things to look at… it would definitely be very easy to setup a robotpy environment to edit the code in. However, simulation support would still be difficult. Maybe if I ever finish the websim…

We use IntelliJ/IDEA with GradleRIO, and manage our code with sourcetree and github. We have a Getting Started page you are welcome to use.
