In IntelliJ, I have a couple of separate applications which dont really depend on each other (and sometimes associated tests). Sometimes one of them has an error (cant find a package to import or so) and I really dont have time to fix it because I need to work on something else, I have no other choice but completely commenting out the offending file. Can I tell Intellij To please just ignore a certain file when I want to execute another application?
You should move the separate applications to separate modules. When you run an application, it will compile only the module containing this application and its dependencies, and will not compile the other modules.
Under "Project Settings" -> "Module", exclude the package you don't want to run:

Hi everyone I am new to IntelliJ in general and especially to Gradle and I feel like a total noob. :D
Im not sure if this is a Kotlin DSL thing or if I just do it the wrong way and it wouldn't work in Groovey either.
After hours of trial and error and reading other SO posts I'm still not able to install a simple dependency... it can't be that hard...
Currently I am playing around with Jetpack Compose for Desktop even though it's still in alpha and it works but for the love of god I am not able to add a dependency.
So here is my Problem:
I try to install the dependency like they say I should in
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/navigation#kts
and yes I know it's an android package so it may not compile or it may crash during runtime but shouldn't it at least find and download the dependency???
So... if I add
implementation("androidx.navigation:navigation-compose:2.4.0-alpha10")
to my build.gradle.kts
And try to compile it I get an exception during the build process:
What I tried so far:
I checked if the repository maven("https://maven.pkg.jetbrains.space/public/p/compose/dev")
who is configured in my build.gradle.kts repositories-section and in my settings.gradle.kts pluginManagement-section contains the package that I want.
The site https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/androidx.navigation/navigation-compose?repo=space-public-compose-dev tells me, that the repository contains the package that I need.
I checked the error log itself.
But I don't relly know what it tries to say.
I use Java SDK16, since I expect downward compatibility and the fact that the dependency is still in alpha I assume it should be compatible.
I use Kotlin 1.5....
that's it.
Thanks for reading all that :) I really appreciate your time... If I forgot some crucial information let me know and I will add it as soon as I can.
the problem which I feel is, is you are basically opening the wrong file. (I don't use jetpack compose so the answer might differ)
on the top left corner in the image, where there is project dropdown, open it and select android.
now there will be a different set of files in the Gradle folder, in fact, there will be 2 different files in that folder.
build.gradle (project: <project_name>)
build.gradle (Module: <project_name>.app)
open the second file and there will be dependencies copy + paste implementation code there.
the file which you have opened is actually the first file.
Well... here I am back again answering my own question.
After I switched to the terminal in IntelliJ Idea (which to be honest I could have thought of that prior to posting my question) there was highlighted text that gave me the necessary insight, why it wasn't working.
And after some searching the web in order to find out what an "aar" file is and why I didn't get a jar file like I expected it turns out that android has it's own little file format for android applications and that those cannot be used in regular java/kotlin projects.
I read somewhere, that 'aar' files contain a jar file and some other stuff and extracting the jar file from the aar file may be a way to get it working, but it didn't fix anything, maybe because the dependencies of the navigation package are aar files as well and therefor I'd need those packages as well and extract the jar file from those as well and it all seems like this isn't the right way...
So I guess I have to wait until Jetpack Compose for desktop somehow is able to use aar files or until the repositories deliver the packages in a regular jar file.
I am an Eclipse/STS user/developer, now trying to use IntelliJ Idea (CE)
2020.2.(1,2,3)
For a project based on Gradle, how spring-integration, when I open the IDE it happens the following
Ok, let the IDE load the project ... but
From above, that is the problem, I don't want that the IDE starts automatically to build/rebuild the project. I just need, open the project and that's all.
Observation: for example in Eclipse/STS exists the option to disable Build Automatically
I did do a research in the Web and I read the following posts and questions:
How to disable automatic gradle builds?
IntelliJ IDEA “Build project automatically” apparently not working
Intellij IDEA Java classes not auto compiling on save
Sadly the dialog options were changed but ...
Therefore:
From above, seems nothing to do.
Observation: from above observe the Build project automatically option is disabled
Even with that disabled and after to restart the IDE, I must always stop manually the build process
So what is missing? or Do I need a special extra plugin to accomplish my goal?
The images that you show indicate that you are building with Gradle, but the Compiler option that you disable is relevant for building projects with Idea not with Gradle.
For the 2020.2 version, you need to do the following:
Open the Setting > Build Tools page.
Disable the "Reload changes in build scripts" option.
This way you can manually control the reload. When you change the build script, you will see a small gradle icon in the right side of the editor.
For more info, refer to the IntelliJ IDEA help > Gradle section.
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/work-with-gradle-projects.html#auto_reload
There are two different things in IntelliJ's Gradle support that sometimes confused: sync and build. Your pictures demonstrate sync process (note caption on the toolwindow). Word build is kind of misleading here.
What is sync? In gradle we use Groovy to define the build procedure. Groovy is an imperative programming language, so it's hard to predict resulting dependencies graph without actually executing the script. During the sync Idea executes configuration phase of gradle build (one that builds dependency graph), and obtains configured objects from the Gradle daemon. This information is used to setup project in the IDE: modules, libraries, dependencies, which sources are test, which are prod, etc.
Actual build is not happening during sync. You can convince yourself by adding syntax error to any source file, and observe that the sync succeeds. But build will fail if you invoke it.
In answer to the original question: you can't disable automatic build, because it is not enabled.
Is it possible to disable sync in Gradle project? Short answer - no. If you need a code browser, which is not required to understand all the cross-references in the source code, IDEA is not the best choice probably.
TL;DR;
Without sync IDE does not know which files are sources, and which are not. IDEA cannot open folders. It only can open projects. Good thing is that module can contain folder. So you can do the following: File | New | Project. Select Empty project, Next, select some random folder outside the source folder you want to open, Finish.
Then add new module:
Select Java in the left panel, everything else keep default, Next, Finish. Then in new module remove existing content root, and add folder with sources as new content root
Resulting project is mostly useless. Tons of red code (at least, unresolved symbols from external libraries), no inspections, no navigation, no sense. But it might be useful in some rare situations indeed.
I'm trying to migrate my eclipse install from one workstation to another. I primarily work with Selenium, so I've copied my workspaces, imported the projects and imported the appropriate jars. However, I am still getting a lot of errors including some stating the import statements are failing to find certain packages.
Half of the errors cleared when I finished importing the last of the jars, but it seems like it's missing something. Basically guessing at this point, I right clicked my project and hit "build project", which cleared the import errors, but the rest of my code has errors indicating things are not imported correctly. I have a feeling the build path is still not configured correctly. Is there a way I can look at my old PC and see what files the import statement is looking for?
When you copied the files to another machine, and imported the project, some jars were not properly added to the classpath. So the compiler complained about not being able to find a class/package in an import statement. You can definitely have a look at the old work station, and look at the project imported jars. You can find those by:
Right click on the project in "Project Explorer", and select "Build Path > Configure Build Path".
This will give you an idea about what you are missing.
Alternatively, (if the libraries you are missing are third party), you can google the missing import statement, and get a clue in which jar (library) contains the jar, then download and add it to the classpath of the project.
I have upgraded my Community version of PyCharm to 2016.3.2, and I'm not positive it was this exact version, but when I went to run files that had unittests in them, only some of them are recognized as UnitTests that I can right click and run.
I have looked to make sure that my classes implement unittest.TestCase
class clWorkflowWebClientTest(unittest.TestCase):
all of my tests begin with test_blahblah()
If I go into Edit Configurations and add one manually, I can right click and run it from the project tree, and it runs as a UnitTest. But I don't get the "Run UnitTests in Blah' dialog when I right click the file.
This turned out to be an issue I caused myself. we had added a folder called 'UnitTest' and introducing this to the path caused issues with PyCharm knowing what was a true UnitTest file.
I still don't know exactly what caused some files to work, but there appears to be one method in those files that did work that was probably being imported from another file that had the proper pathing.
I have several modules in the project with a complex dependency structure. When I want to compile and run unit tests for 1 module, I want IDEA to ignore any compilation errors in unrelated modules. How can I do that? Currently IDEA compiles everything even if I say "compile module 1".
I don't want to setup several different projects for this.
In the test Run configuration specify the corresponding module. IntelliJ IDEA will compile only this module and required dependencies, it will not try to compile other modules if this test module doesn't depend on them.
If for some reason it doesn't work as expected, please try to share a small sample to illustrate the problem.
Try checking your dependencies. I had this same issue because the Ivy plug-in had added what it thought was a needed lib which contained a class that would not compile due to a missing dependency. Once I removed it, the build ran fine.
