Missing report if run from the CLI

[bzz]

InteliJ has this awesome ability to launch the Inspections from CLI but for some reason using an inspection profile that only includes MethodNamesInspection does not produce any XML report output 😕

The same profile, but run in-IDE, seems to produce the results using Analyze->Inspect Code or Analyze->Run Inspection by Name -> Show method name suggestions.

Although it's still a bit surprising that the number of the results in the output vary between the consecutive runs over the same codebase, with the same settings (from 1 to 10, including suggestions for code snippets in Markdown files).

Steps to reproduce:

• build&install this plugin
• clone and import any java project (tested on this, e.g under ~/$project)
• create a new inspection profile that only includes MethodNamesInspection
  e.g by making a copy of the default one Project_Default_copy, disabling everything and enabling this one by the name
• run the inspection from CLI e.g

  /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA\ CE.app/Contents/bin/inspect.sh \ 
    ~/$project \
    ~/$project/.idea/inspectionProfiles/Project_Default_copy.xml \
    ~/$project/astrid-inspection-results
  

• actual result: ls -la astrid-inspection-results only includes .descriptions.xml
• expected result: something like a MethodNames.xml report

Thank you again for the project and please advise if I'm doing something wrong or if this should be treated as feature request, etc.

@bzz, thanks for letting us know!
I never tried to launch the inspections from CLI. I will investigate the problem.
Perhaps we search method name suggestions only for methods inside current open file. I will check the case that you described.
