IntelliJ "Problems" view shows only few errors.
Any setting to show all the errors? or is there a limit to number of lines displayed in the Problems view that we can increase?
I'm using Community edition.
Am new to IntelliJ IDEA (am using 2017.1.3)...
Was writing some sample code and didn't like how the Debug view was located as tab in the bottom right corner. Am trying to reconfigure my Intelli IDEA perspective (borrowed that term from Eclipse) so, I can have the following setup:
Project view as it is (completely on the left hand side like a column), on the right of that is the Debug view.
On the bottom of the Debug view is the Source Editor view.
Project view is still on the left of both the Debug and Source Editor view.
Attached is a screenshot of my plight:
As you can see, the Project view is completely under my Debug View. I want it to be completely left of both Debug and Source Editor views.
Enable the Widescreen tool window layout option:
See the manual: Optimize for wide-screen monitors
I cloned a repo from github only to find that the intellij project window is missing!
But! I have a not missing a project module (like other people on are)!
It looks like your problem is just that you're not showing the project tab!
To show the project tab:
Press the icon in the bottom left of the screen
On the left side of your window, a bar should appear, press the:
If it's not already pressed.
(optional) You may need to change to "Project view", on the top part of the project window there should be a little drop down, select "Project"
That should do it! I hope this helps :)
I've just installed the community edition v13. What has happened to the side bar to the right which had the maven projects. With one click it would display the maven projects. When I go to View -> Tool Windows -> Maven Projects it displays but when I hide it, it completely disappears. It didn't do this in version 12. It's annoying to keep going to the top menu bar. Any ideas on how to get it back?
In Idea 13, in left-right part are by default invisible(to not use place). Click on showed button to go to previous style.
Is there a way to make IntelliJ mark error locations continuously for the files you are working on in the similar manner as Eclipse does? At the moment I need to make the project which lists all the errors in the message panel, but even then I cannot navigate to them using the editor panel. I would like to have simple dots/markers which would point to error/warning locations.
IntelliJ IDEA detects errors and warnings in the current file on the fly (unless Power Save Mode is activated in the File menu).
Errors in other files and in the project view will be shown after Build | Make and listed in the Messages tool window.
For Bazel users: Project errors will show on Bazel Problems tool window after running Compile Project (Ctrl/Cmd+F9)
To navigate between errors use Navigate | Next Highlighted Error (F2) / Previous Highlighted Error (Shift+F2).
Error Stripe Mark color can be changed here:
For those who even yet have the problem, try enabling "Build project automatically" in the Java compiler settings and see if that makes a difference as it worked for me.
I ran into the problem of not having set my sources root folder (project window--right click folder, mark directory as > sources root). If you don't set this IDEA doesn't parse the file.
For IntelliJ 2017:
Use "Problem" tool window to see all errors.
This window appears in bottom/side tabs when you enable "automatic" build/make as mentioned by #pavan above (https://stackoverflow.com/a/45556424/828062).
To access this Problems panel, you must set your project to build automatically. Check the box for Preferences/Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler > Build project automatically.
Frankly the errors are really hard to see, especially if only one character is "underwaved" in a sea of Java code. I used the instructions above to make the background an orangey-red color and things are much more obvious.
In IntelliJ Idea 2019 you can find scope "Problems" under the "Project" view. Default scope is "Project".
Besides, you can choose going to next error only (ignore warning) by:
Right click the Validation Side Bar.
On the context menu, choose the Go to high priority problems only
it works for Intellij Idea 12
In my case, I unknowingly unchecked 'Error Stripe Mark' option (Idea 2018.2: Settings > Editor > Color Scheme > General and expand `Error and Warnings' & click 'Error').
Fix is to check 'Error Stripe Mark' option of 'Error' (as highlighted in the below image). Now you will see the error marks in scrollbar area.
In my case, IntelliJ was simply in power safe mode
Do you have a yellow icon like this [_] at the bottom of the main window?
It is a "type-aware highlighting" switch which could be disabled accidentally.
You should re-enable it by clicking on the icon.
In the intellij hit ctrl+alt+shift+s and go to global libraries and click on plus icon to add the java libraries this will solve your problem. now you will see the errors coming up

This is the solution I found:
Open IntelliJ Setting (Crtl + Shift + A);
Click in "Editor";
Click in "Color Scheme" + the Programming Language (inside "Color Scheme");
Select "Analysis Error";
Select "Error stripe mark" + Add the Color desired
