Would people still be interested in some extra help with IDE? (it's a working demo in 0.19). What would you like to see if this turns into reality?

shut up and take my money

I've always wanted this

@Ian Whalen Is that mostly the connections between parameters.yml / catalog.yml / pipeline.py? Create IDE plugins for major editors #2821 There is a broader discussion about IDE plugins,

Yeah something like that! If I'm in pycharm and click through to my node's function definition I also want the same workflow to click through to my catalog / parameter definitions The immediate issue for me would be template pipelines But maybe there's a way to find "all definitions" somehow? Like if you tried to see all implementations of a base class's abstract method (in Pycharm that is) Edit: it seems like you've covered all of this (and more) in the issue already!

runtime generated pipeline will be trickier, there is nothing for you to "click" to start with if you just have some for loop there. For config actually it could be easier, because we only need the

key

but not the value (which can be interpolated or through custom resolver). In case that we cannot find the exact key, it may not be too bad to just go back to its parent (very rough idea)

# parameters.yml
top-level-key:
  sub-key: ${some_group_config}

some_group_config:
  a: 1
  b: 2
  c: 3

In

pipeline.py

you may refer it to

node(func, inputs="params:top-level-key.sub-key.a

, in this case we cannot resolve the parameter to a particular line of config, we can just backtrack and go to

top-level-key.sub-key

or

top-level-key
