ignoring build folder does not show it in project window.
commenting .gradle in .gitignore does show it in project windows.
I want to show both .gradle and build folders in project windows but I also want to include them in .gitignore file.
Right click on a directory in the project view and make sure Hide ignored files option is not enabled.
This feature is provided by a third-party .ignore plug-in. IntelliJ IDEA doesn't hide ignored files out of the box.
Note: If you don't see the .gitignore-d files, then try clicking this option regardless of its label in this menu. Sometimes because of a bug the entry says "hide" but clicking it actually shows the hidden files.
Some updates to .ignore plugin suggested in this answer.
IntelliJ now suggests installing foldable-projectview
This plugin really provides flexible configuration options.

I'm working on quite a large modular project in Webstorm. The js code is compiled with Babel to ./dist folder, so are the assets like html templates and other files.
I would like to EXCLUDE ./dist since when I do a global search of "Navigate to Symbol/Class/etc", I don't want results from ./dist to be shown, so I mark the ./dist folder as excluded.
BUT due to the workflow and the modularity (projects are modules loaded with jspm), I need to commit changed ./dist into VCS (Git). This is our workflow and I can't do anything about that.
The problem:
When I click "Commit changes" I don't see the newly changed files in ./dist when I exclude this folder. Clicking on "Refresh changes" doesn't help.
Can I solve this issue somehow?
UPD
The ./dist directory is NOT in .gitignore
You shouldn't exclude this directory from vcs, if you want or need to have it under version control. But for setting the directory, where IDE shouldn't search, you should set up IDE.
You have to remove your directory from git ignore or what ever, and set up ContentRoot in your IDE. I'm using PhpStorm and IntelijIdea, but the settings are common for all JetBrains Products.
Here is the part of JetBrains instruction :
To have files or folders excluded by name
1. Do one of the following: – Open the Settings dialog box, and click Deployment, then click Options below the Deployment node .
– Choose Tools | Deployment | Options on the main menu.
2. In the Options dialog box that opens, specify the patterns that define the names of these files and folders in the Exclude items by name text box. Use semicolons as delimiters. Wildcards are welcome.
The exclusion is applied recursively. This means that if a matching folder has subfolders, the contents of these subfolders are not deployed either.
So , you can read this : exclude files and restore the settings, and after that, use the next link, to set up the root directory.
Here is the instruction from JetBrains : JetBrains-Content Root
I want to get rid of the annoying popup window when opening the same project in both webstorm and intellij. This window constains
Project components were changed externally and cannot be reloaded:
RunManager
editorHistoryManager
ToolWindowManager
ProjectRootManager
ChangeListManager
FileEditorManager
Would you like to reload project?
Is there a way to do that?
Thank you.
The problem is that WebStorm and Idea use the same project format (https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/help/project.html#d1374457e109), but have different module types, settings, etc. So, it's strongly recommended to avoid sharing the project settings (.idea) between WebStorm and Idea.
If you like to proceed with working on your project in both IDEs, I can suggest creating a separate project to be used in WebStorm: create a new empty WebStorm project anywhere and then add a folder where your javascript, HTML, etc. files are stored as an additional content root to it using Settings/Project/Directories, Add content root.
Every once in a while, I open an old project and I can't see any of the folders in the intelliJ project viewer. I can see all the files at the root.. but no folders. Yes I can delete the .iml file and .idea folder and re-create the project, but come on.. there's gotta be an easier way to fix this.
Is there?
If you look in project settings (ctrl-shift-alt-s), you should see a module structure. If you instead see "Nothing to see", do the following:
In Project Structure -> Modules, press the + button,
press enter (since, for some weird reason, it won't let me click on "New Module")
In the window that pops up, click on the "..." next to Content root, find your root folder, and select it
Press ok
ignore any warning that says the name is already in use (or to that effect)
the simplest solution worked from me, just delete the .idea folder
keep in mind this will delete all of idea's current project configuration, it'll create the folder with default settings when reload the project again... but all other configuration will be lost if not properly backed-up
It might be because the project didn't have any modules defined. Try adding existing source code by hitting File > New > Module from Existing Sources and select the parent directory of the project for source code
Go to pom.xml file -> right click -> maven -> generate source and update folders. You will see your files and folder structures in left hand side.
All the project-specific settings for a project opened through Intellij IDE are stored in the .idea folder.
The .idea folder (hidden on OS X) in the solution root contains
IntelliJ’s project-specific settings files. These include per-project
details such as VCS mapping and run and debug configurations, as well
as per-user details, such as currently open files, navigation history
and currently selected configuration.
So, if you are not able to see the project file structure in your Intellij IDE, just delete the .idea folder,
rm -rf .idea
and reload the project, then after reload you'll be easily able to get your project structure displayed.
Thank you very much. I just remove the .idea folder and works in my case.
rm -rf .idea
For me, the java folder was not showing up. I went into File->Project Structure. In the second column, I selected on _main. In the third column, I selected the tab "sources". In what I call the fourth column, where the "+Add Content Root" is shown, I verified, the java source/folder was present. In my case, there was an extra source folder, which was the current location. I removed this, applied and the java folder immediately showed up.
Right click on the Project name -> Open Module Setting -> Check the application context path set it up at your project location.
Check your idea.log -- it may have some details explaining why or what is happening (Help | Reveal log in Explorer). Possibly one of the config files got corrupted.
You can always backup and delete .idea subfolder (project settings) and re-create project from scratch. When it's wroking again (after basic configuration) you may copy some of the files from that folder back to recover some of your settings (if there were many).
This happened to me on a new computer when I opened up a Java project in the newly installed Intellij.
The problem was that I had not installed any JDK on the machine.
I had to install a JDK and then go into the settings at ctrl-shift-alt-s and add a JDK by specifying the folder where I installed it. It's possible that IntelliJ would have found it if I closed it and reopened it.
In my case the solution was to create a new project, specifying the project type and creating it within the same directory path as the project that does not load the project files correctly.
PhpStorm automatically detects that the directory exists and gives you the option to create project from existing sources.
This can be found under:
File --> New project...
For gradle users: "Reload All Gradle Projects" option should help.
Suddenly, IntelliJ IDEA is showing the following module view with a strange yellow colour in the background. I don't know how to get my module back, because it is not being shown:
Do you know how can I see my project folder back?
Thanks
This is way late, but deleting my .idea folder did the trick.
Close IntelliJ
cd <project-path>
rm -rf .idea
You can go to File-> Project Structure and then define it as a Source Folder
In Intellij, Right click on your parent pom file and click add as maven project
For Maven Projects that don't show up you can right click your pom.xml and click 'Add as Maven Project'.
In my case Modules kept on disappearing and I managed to fix it with these simple steps:
In the Project panel, right click to see the context menu
Select "Open Module Settings"
Select the Module that is not shown in the tree view
Select the first tab labeled "Sources"
Press the "+ Add Content Root" link
Select the root folder where the files for this module are located
Once the folder has been scanned, press the OK button and you will see the Module appear
I had a similar issue. Other answers did not solve the problem for me.
I ended up uninstalling IntelliJ, then installing a new copy. When prompted to import previous settings, I selected the option of not to import, then set up IntelliJ from scratch. After re-install/re-setup, I was able to open my project folder and all of the modules showed like before. Some how my IntelliJ got fubared, my guess is that it happened when I updated it last week.
For me, I must've deleted my .iml file somehow. Files with .iml contain configuration for your modules. The problem was that my project module was not being loaded without it. I'm using gradle, syncing my project with gradle regenerated whichever *.iml was necessary to build. Here is a post that provides a succinct explanation.
IntelliJ IDE | .iml File lost or deleted
Also - I know this issue is probably long gone and out of his head but for whoever may come across this issue, the above was the solution for me.
Check if the FACETS panel is blank
If it's blank .Then click the "+" button to add
one.
For me .I need a android facet.

Hope this is work for you.
I assume you are used to working with Eclipse. Intellij IDEA uses the same idea, but different names.
A Eclipse workspace is equal to IDEA's project.
A Eclipse project is equal to IDEA's module.
I have a computer with two hard drives. In the first one, an SSD disk, I have Windows partition (C) and on the second one (D), a raid volume, I install all the programs. I also moved my user folders (desktop, documents, downloads, pictures and videos) to D:/Users/David.
After installing IntelliJ Idea on D:/Program Filles(x86) a .IntelliJIdea13 directory appeared on D:/Users/David. No problem with this as all was working nice. Then I installed Scala plugin, created a new SBT project and build it. After this, the .sbt directory used by SBT was in C:/Users/David/.sbt but the references to the libraries in my project are pointing to D:/Users/David/.sbt. The question is, how can I force IntelliJ Idea or Scala plugin to download the libraries to D:/Users/David.sbt?
Not 100% sure if this can be a solution, you can change the HOME folder of Intellij IDEA. Look for the folder where the idea executable is. In Linux I have on
~/applications/idea13/bin
On Windows you can check the properties of the menu item. There should be file idea.properties that contains the home folder location of the idea files.
You can find more information here that describe more details:
Locations can be changed by editing the following file:
IDE_HOME\bin\idea.properties
Follow the comments in idea.properties file to change the defaults,
make sure to un-comment the lines defining these properties:
idea.config.path
idea.system.path
idea.plugins.path
idea.log.path
On the other hand you can change the location of your project to D:/Users/David. you should also have a look inside the project folder, there should be a .idea folder with has a library directory. They contains the location of the libs used in the project with their paths.
As dawez allready answered, you should edit idea.properties to set config, system, plugins and log paths.
But if you want to change the user.home path, then you must edit idea.exe.vmoptions file. Just add the following at the end of the file:
-Duser.home=your_new_user_home_path
If you use idea64.exe then you should edit idea64.exe.vmoptions file.
JetBrains had added complete set of features to support such a case and this is described here:
Changing IDE default directories used for config, plugins, and caches storage
