Display Gradle output in console in Intellij IDEA 2016.1.1 - intellij-idea

When running Gradle task from IDEA:
console output looks like:
As one can see, bootRun task failed. But I can't find the reason of the fail.
Is there a way to make Gradle output be displayed in Intellij Console when starting tasks from Gradle window?


You can click the icon marked in the image bellow
Toggle tasks executions/text mode
That will switch to the console log of your build and you can see what went wrong.
UPDATE: As of 2019.2.3, you don't need to toggle task/console view as you can see now both at the same time:


In IDEA 2019.2.3 the icon has change. See circled icon in image:


Alright, I know it's so obvious that you don't need to tell about it.
But I've spent the whole day not getting what's going on)
If you cannot find logs, and see only Gradle steps, probably you just have to expand the logs window. Somehow it was minimized without my notice.
Added a screenshot just in case. Just drag the mouse pointer to the left on the spot circled in red.

How to get BranchesPane in Intellij Idea?

I have a project opened in IntelliJ and Git is also enabled for the project. What is the issue I am facing is, according to the following image, the red "branch pane" is missing from IDE and the only thing I see is the green area.
And also I see the blue area instead of "Git" it is showing "Version Control". So I need to know how I can get the branch pane back like the attached image.

Your IntelliJ IDEA is too old, it does not have this feature. To show the branches pane you need at least IntelliJ IDEA version 2020.1.

Intellij jvm doesnt show my console output

my problem is that when I write a code and run it, the console just doesnt show it.
I dont know anything about it and started new.
I installed a second time but still without success.
can you give me any tips to solve it, cause since two days I cant go on with my book.
thx very much.

If you're talking about the "Run" output, have you gone up to the "View" menu, then to "Tool Windows" then "Run"? That is where most of the view window settings are in IntelliJ (and other JetBrains products)

How to know gradle task error message in IntelliJ?

Click on "/ab" icon in the top-left of the window, and you'll switch to console view where you can find details of the error.

Missing "messages" window after compilation in IntelliJ

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 12. When I run "make project", "debug" or "run" task it does some compiling, shows little bubble that there are warnings, shows grayed-out tool window "message" and after few seconds it hides the nameplate of messages window.
Why is compile log missing? What to do to fix this? I'd like to see (in IDE) what causes those warnings...
PS: I'm not sure, but it might started doing this when I started using Scala (it's now a mixed Scala-Java project).

If you've previously selected "Hide Warnings" then the Messages window is unavailable if there are no compilation errors. It is not even possible to show the empty window using View->Tool Windows-> Message or Alt-0.
Solution:
introduce a compilation error
build, the Messages window should reappear to show your error (or at least be accessible via the View menu)
go to the Messages window and deselect Hide Warnings
fix the compilation error
Rebuild Project and all your warnings will be visible
(I had the same symptoms on 13.0.2 and this worked for me)

For me, it pops up on "Rebuild Project". Maybe that helps.

The window should be there any time IDEA compiles the code. (If there is a not a code change, and you rerun something there is no compiling done and the message window will not show). It is accessible (by default) via Alt+0 (Zero, not the letter 'Oh') or via View > Tools Windows > Messages
You may have a combination of some tool window settings causing this.
If all the tool window buttons are hidden, the messages tool window will be as well. You can toggle this setting via View > Tool Button or the icon in the very bottom left corner of the IDE. To temporarily show the buttons when hidden, hit the Alt twice, holding it down on the second hit.
If the messages tool window is not set to "Docked Mode" and "Pinned Mode" it will close after the compile.
If the above is not the issue, make sure you are using the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA, v12.1.6, and the latest version of the scala plug-in, v0.22.302 (Go to Settings > [IDE Settings] > Plugins and look for the scala plug-in). Those versions work as expected for me.

Looks like u do not have any errors and warnings! In this case in Idea "Messages" tool window auto disappears. I hade the same issue and passes half an hour to understand the reason!

IntelliJ - show where errors are

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
enter image description here

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
