I have just started using IntelliJ, and I made an unsuccessful attempt at checking out a remote repository. I am trying to check out the code again into the same local directory, but IntelliJ keeps telling me that the directory is already in use.
I have deleted the config in IntelliJ, and deleted and recreated the local directory, but that doesn't seem to solve the issue.
How can I flush out these cached directories so that I can try my checkout again?
I was able to resolve this by going through the setup wizard and deleting the offending configurations. Once deleted I closed IntelliJ and re-opened it (probably overkill). I was then able to check out my code into the directory that I wanted.

I am using WebStorm as IDE. No matter what configuration I put in .gitignore, .idea files keep getting tracked whenever I do git add -A. I have removed cache, added all the config in .gitingore but still happening.
I recently put several old, yucky git directory structures into one new, clean structure in SVN, then pulled the entire SVN repository back out into a new, clean, local git repository. One IntelliJ project was so messed up I had to import the old IntelliJ project, which created a new .iml file having a better name, and deleted the old .iml file. I reconfigured everything, committed back into SVN, and verified other people could open the project and build.
Today I tried to edit a file for the first time in this project and got the message, "These files do not belong to the project". IntelliJ offers to unlock the file or all non-project files in the current session, but both options sound wrong. What have I done to myself, and how do I fix it?
This happened for me when I ignored the .idea/ files. Just do
rm -rf .idea/
And then File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart -> Invalidate And Restart.
I figured out the problem. The file was still open from before all the shuffling, and was apparently pointing at the original file in its original location! I closed the editor and reopened the file from the project tree without a problem. I hope this helps someone else someday.
From File-> Repair IDE -> Rescan Project Indexes -> Reopen Project worked for me.
Had same problem on Ubuntu (Webstorm), got answer from Intellij.
There are no content roots in your project, so all your files are
treated as non-project files. As I wrote your .idea files are likely
broken, the .iml file and/or modules.xml are either missing or
corrupted. Deleting and re-creating .idea folder should help:
-close the project
-remove it from Recent projects list
-shut down the IDE
-delete the .idea folder
-restart, open the project root folder with File > Open
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/requests/3779670?page=1
This also happened for me when I opened the project through a symlink (parent directory) or when the python interpreter was inside a symlink directory (because of virtualenv).
Reopening through the original directory tree (after fighting hard with the IDE to forget its beloved project settings), solved the issue.
It's probably listed in one of the XML config files in .idea/*.xml.
Just do a find of that folder for the name of the file in question, and remove the entry for it from the XML.
Mine was listed in .idea/workspace.xml within the following node: <component name="TypeScriptGeneratedFilesManager">.
I removed the option, then invalidated caches and restarted, and now the file is marked as a standard, non-generated file again. This way you can keep all your settings without exporting them and importing them.
Similar issue with WebStorm. The difference was I had to shutdown the IDE completely and then remove .idea folder
rm -rf .idea
I tried doing it with the IDE open and going to file File -> Invalidate Caches but that did not fix the problem for me.
Same problem. File was considered not part of the project even if I deleted it and created a new one with the same name.
To fix,I highlighted the project node in the left panel, selected "File/Invalidate caches and restart" from the top menu.
After the restart I had to set my file as a JS file (right click, set as JavaScript), close and reopen the project. All fixed.
For me the above did not help. I ended up going Project Structure -> Modules -> + at the top narrow middle column -> browsed through files to select the Project Folder -> apply -> ok -> all is done and working correctly.
My problem was much simpler than expected: I was trying to run a Jupyter notebook and got the error - because it was inside a folder that was marked "excluded" in the project structure.
Simply moving the notebook out of the excluded folder solved my problem.
In my case it was auto-generated .gitignore, I had entries like:
### npm ###
node
node_modules
frontend-dest
data/
And in project files I had java package called like com.company.test.data which matched last pattern. I strongly recommend to check it before removing .idea/ files and invalidating cache.
This warning is an IDE issue that Android Studio cannot recognise the current directory if it does not include any source files.
So, adding am empty source file, e.g empty_xxx.c under the directory in question and adding below line in CMakeList.txt
add_library(${TARGET_NAME_XXX} SHARED ${SOME_DIR_HAVING_THIS_WARNING}/empty_xxx.c)
will help get rid of this warning.
In my case the above methods didn't help, I just deleted .idea file in project and reset the Jetbrain IDE to default settings and it worked normally.
NB: You will loose all your settings and plugins, but if you don't mind this might help as the last resort like in my case.
I am using Jetbrain,
make sure to include all project files in the project. Use Settings -> project structure.
PyCharm > Preferences > Project > Project Structure > Add Content Root
Somehow PyCharm lost the project root directory in my case
For me it was because I had moved a project to wsl by copying the files from wsl to windows. When I switched branches the file must've been open from before and was the windows version of it and not the wsl one.
I noticed this finally by looking on top of the file tab and seeing the path as C:\User...\filename instead of \\wsl$....\filename.
Close your JetBrains IDE, then open a Terminal window and navigate to your project's root folder, and run these 2 commands:
rm -rf .idea
and then
rm -rf .git
NOTE: you'll probably have to connect your project back to your git repository, so if you have any uncommitted changes make sure to commit and push them beforehand to avoid losing them.
I am having an issue with IntelliJ, where it presents a modal popup saying
Error
Canot copy sourcedir/somejar to destination/somejar. Reason sourcedir/somejar (No such file or directory)
However when I do a ls sourcedir/somejar, I can find it.
Cleaning your IntelliJ system cache may solve your problem.
Go to File -> Invalidate Caches...
Then click Invalidate and Restart.
From their website:
"...the only way to solve some conflicts is to clean out the cache..."
Cleaning out the system caches causes a complete rebuild of all the projects ever run in the current version of IntelliJ IDEA.
IntelliJ was working fine on my machine and suddenly it started to give me these errors when I compile
"failed to copy from temporary location to output directory: path-of-the-temporary-compiled class-in-the-user-temp-directory"
If I remove the module from the project and add it again and compile the file, it works fine for sometime and then starts giving this error.
Tried cleaning up the user dir, shutdown and restart, etc. No luck
IntelliJ IDEA 11.1.3 on Windows 7. Also on IntelliJ IDEA 12.0.1 on Windows 7.
I got the exact error.
I fixed this problem by Rebuilding the project.
Click on Build -> Rebuild Project..
This will resolve the problem. Thanks.
I got the same error but did not see any answer to this question so thought of posting my solution(workaround) for this:
As the error mentioned failure to copy from temporary location which was point to Temp folder so I tried cleaning up the Temporary files etc. using Disk Cleanup of C:\ and that resolved the error for me.
NOTE: This is just a temporary workaround, I would love to get a real solution to this. I am using IntelliJ IDEA 12.0.1.
I got the same error and restarted the IntelliJ IDEA which fixed the problem. I think when I restarted, the process was killed and associated files in temp files were delete..
Next time when I get it I will compare the no of files in temp folder before and after restart.
It's works by set resources config in the pom file
After IntelliJ IDEA froze and was killed from the task manager, all the Run/Debug Configurations disappeared. I have tried invalidating caches, reloading files from disk, synchronizing and restarting, but nothing helped.
You can try to restore your Run configuration using the Local History feature of IntelliJ IDEA.
If you are using .idea directory based format, then your configurations will reside in workspace.xml file under .idea directory, invoke Local History dialog from the .idea directory right click menu in IDEA Project View, select the label some time before the crash and revert the old copy of workspace.xml.
In case .ipr file based format is used, your configurations will be stored in the <project>.iws file in the project root which you can restore in a similar way.
If the configurations were Shared, they are stored in .idea\runConfigurations directory as separate XML files or in the <project>.ipr file (if old project format is used).
If the Local history is blank and you are in Windows, try Restore previous versions right clicking the workspace.xml file or the <project>.iws one in Windows Explorer.
You can go to your main project and right click on it, select local history --> show history. Find some point in time where you think that system was stable (before crash) and click revert. This worked for me.
To me, this frequently happened on switching branches. Turning off "restore workspace on branch switching" helps to prevent the run configurations from getting lost.
Edit: Not sure if it actually has an impact, it still seems to happen to me sometimes, maybe less frequently though. I'll leave it here since the answer already has some upvotes, so maybe this was the solution for someone...
For every project in intellij there's a file created with all the configurations related to it.
Under the root directory of the project there's a hidden folder .idea in it is the workspace.xml with the configuration. workspace.xml is comprised of components one of which is responsible to hold the run/debug configurations.
If this file is getting corrupted it's difficult to restore these configurations if you don't have a backup of workspace.xml. to overcome it:
1. in intellij right click the workspace.xml file under project view and choose Local History -> Show History
2. if there's no history you can copy the component from a coworker with similar configurations.
3. backup in advance the workspace.xml and retrieve the RunManager component from it..
another good choice is to use the share option.
under each project's definition there's a checkbox share
Marking this checkbox will extract the definition for this project to an external location:
under the same .idea folder a new folder is being created runConfigurations and the configurations per project are being represented there in xml files.
The advantage of using share is that it can be copied and used for similar projects under other branched like QA and production
In my case, i've accidentally pressed Alt + Home and this bar disappeared, this combination toggles run bar at the top of IDEA window for me.
Here the screen with my bound actions on this keys. I hope it should help
Run configurations are stored in your project files. When IntelliJ (or your computer with IntelliJ running) crashes hard, the project files can become corrupted and unreadable. I don't know of a way to recover this unless you have your project files are backed up somewhere.
Navigate to your project folder and check weather any .idea folder is created or not,
if created copy your project and paste it other location ant try opening it;
it will work.
I sometimes have the problem that all the run/debug configurations are not created from CMake after being lost. I solved this by just deleting the whone list of configurations from the workspace.xml (from .idea folder).
This happened to me recently and I just restarted IntelliJ and they shared ones (in .run) are now restored.
In my case what happened was I did something that made IntelliJ recognize the project as a new application type, so it thought my old configuration was not valid for my project anymore and wasn't displaying it to me. I reverted my changes and the configuration appeared as an option again.
I guess this feature can't be removed from IntelliJ but I guess this can help:
Run/Debug configuration functionality might be hidden, so to show it go to:
View/Appearance/Navigation Bar
Very annoying problem in Intellij Idea for many years.
It's quite often breaks because of broken (connection to?) Ant debugger, used to create run configs.
I was periodically searching for a solution, but no success. Then today after disappeared Run Config to display in panel I did inspect contents of workspace.xml. All the run configs were there.
And then it turns out to be 7+ years bug clue...
Always spring out non-called Ant...
Happily, contents of workspace.xml in place with all your run config items, you can just
disable infamous plugin Ant debugger,
reload the project,
and all your run configs are displayed and available again))).
Happy to share with all of you the solution).
