I'm currently using WebStorm build 11.0.3, to do some Angular 2 programming/learning and I'm using Angular 2 seed.
WebStorm keeps indexing after every few changes and/or some minutes...
Any suggestions or advises? I'm sure there are some settings about this but I didn't find any.
Because the angular seed folder contains too many files, or others folders, go to webstorm preference, select menu "Directories ", select the fold that you want to Exclude, click "Exclude", then click "Apply" and "OK". As the following picture shows:
Go to FILE and click on invalidate caches and restart.
Also, If you are running Unit Test make sure to exclude the Coverage folder. otherwise, it will keep indexing every time you run a Unit test.
Just right click on the folder name and chose exclude.

I'm not sure if this is an intellij version control or SVN issue, but is there a way to disable all auto subversion / version control update checks in Intellij?
When you click the version control tab at the bottom of the IDE and look at local changes, the lists often say "Updating...".
I want to use subversion, but for huge projects the "updating" in intellij version control sometimes takes a good 10 minutes, and it starts randomly for no reason, even when I have not made changes. I checked the settings and I don't have "check every" or "refresh every" options checked under subversion.
Basically I never want Intellij to stop checking the whole project and server every time I make a small change to a file.
When you click the version control tab at the bottom of the IDE and look at local changes, the lists often say "Updating...".
This means IDE is refreshing the local status of the files to correctly show them in the Local changes and other respective places. It is not related to remote servers.
It could take long because of e.g. huge number of unversioned files in the project. In this case, adding them to svn:ignore should help.
For any change I made to my class, which contains a main() method, I have to run "Build->rebuild project", to make the changes effective. I am afraid my environment or settings have a problem.
Please help.
Please check that you still have Build step in the Before launch setting of the Run/Debug configuration. This is the default, but you could have removed it by accidentally clicking on the — icon.
I think you'll have to repeat this for every JUnit test case.
To alter the behaviour for all test cases:
Run -> Edit Configurations...
In left-hand column, select Templates -> JUnit
Make your changes
Hit OK
I had the same problem and I solved it setting the SDK. You need to go in Project Setting and select the Project tab, as show below
Then you can download a JDK or add a new SDK. Finally, you click on OK and run the code.
Somehow, I managed to break my refactoring capabilities in Intellij IDEA 12. I have somehow disabled it for my project. Renaming a member through Shift+F6 doesn't work. The inline edit box is not drawn, nothing happens.
I know of the refactoring settings in Settings -> Editor, Enable in-place mode and Preselect old name are both checked.
It has to be some kind of project setting. I checked by creating a test project, adding some member and renaming it, which works perfectly.
What setting am I looking for? Or could my project be broken?
There is no way to turn refactoring off in the settings. My guess is that the project's cache/indexes are corrupted. I had a case once where refactoring, especially renames, stopped working. A re-index solved it for me. Go to File >Invalidate Caches, invalidate your caches, restart IDEA, and let IDEA re-index the project (progress is shown in the bottom status bar right of center). Then try the refactoring.
If that does not solve it, take a look in the logs (Help > Show Log) and see if there is any indication in there as to the cause of the issue.
Fo all the MacOS users, do not forget to access Settings -> Keyboard and turn on the flag for the option Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys. E.g.:
Otherwise IntelliJ will not get the focus to use the F4 key.
Following step worked for me:
From your IDE, go to: Preferences -> Project Structure -> Add Content Root, then select the folder you want to use.
None of the above steps worked for me in IDEA 2021.2.4 (Ultimate Edition). I got the following error message when trying to rename a file and its usages:
Cannot perform refactoring. Selected file is not located inside the project.
Instead, I had to create a new module.
File > Project Structure > Modules > Add (+) > Import module > Select <root_folder_of_your_project>
This reindexed the whole project, which took a couple of minutes, and restored the Refactor > Rename functionality.
waite for some time it can be due to running Indexing
I created some dummy projects. Now I don't see any way to delete the projects that I don't want. Per this suggestion I can delete files, the project is going away but there is traces of it still available. For example, on the Recent Projects you can still see the name of the project you just deleted. So I am thinking there should be another (and really easy way) to delete a project.
Press the Del (or fn and delete) key to delete a project from the Recent Projects list.
Vote for this issue to make it more obvious and user friendly.
close project first, or until this dialog appear, then hover your mouse on project you want to delete from history, then press Del
you'll be asked for confirmation
On occasion, even with deletion of the project, some tidbits are left behind in the following Windows paths:
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\compiler
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\compile-server
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\frameworks\detection
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system\conversion
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\config\componentVersions
C:\Users\username.domain\.IntelliJIdea2017.1\config\tasks
This has been proven to be problematic - for example, if a new project is created using a previously deleted project name, it will create the project with data stored in the above paths, at least, this has been my experience.
The only way to TRULY delete the project is to get rid of all the garbage left behind in the aforementioned folders. I would suggest using Search Everything to find more tidbits left in the users temp folders.
In case your project is imported as a module, you can also go to File --> Project Structure and click 'Modules' in the left section. Now you can hit the minus button to remote the module from the project.
You can also click File -> Open project ...
When a file menu appears, you can right click the unwanted project folder and select Delete.
Just figured, I am using Idea Community edition 13.1.1 and the cleanest and easiest way is to go to File > Reopen project > Clear List. I just stumbled upon this menu today. I always thought that is just to clear the latest projects from the view inside the IDE and just realized it is clearing the projects from the main Dialog too.

Also, in IDEA 13.x.x you can go File-> Close Project and you'll land in the window with Recent Projects tab. There pressing Del of Fn + Del on selected project helps .
On OSX Mountain Lion and IDEA 14, with the project open and focused, you can go to file -> close project, then delete the project from your filesystem. This removed all references to the project.
Note that if the project you are deleting is the only project open, closing it will show the welcome dialog, which will still show the project. Deleting the project manually from within your operating system is the next step, and the project will still appear in the welcome dialog until it is closed and shown again, usually by opening another project from the list, or quitting and restarting IDEA.
In my case, I had to delete home/.IntelliJIdea2017.2/config/options/recentProjects.xml
. In my file system (Ubuntu) this file appeared for some weird reason not writable and hold a list of projects I couldn't get rid of. Deleting this file and restarting will force Intellij IDEA to create a new one with an empty list of projects.
All you have to do is go to file - close project - to avoid seeing them again in the menu list and then you delete them from the projects directory.
I have a noob Perforce question. I got my perforce plug-in on Eclipse working(for both Java and C).
I have no problems "opening" my perforce stored projects on Eclipse.
Scenario 1:
Whenever I want to change code, I open the project on Eclipse and right-click on it and go to "team" and check out, make changes and then submit. Works fine. But even after that I see a tick mark(indicating check-out) on my perforce screen.
Scenario 2:
I just open perforce code as Eclipse project and make changes(If read only, it prompts and asks if i have to allow write and I say yes). I make changes and save. It doesnt ask for submit. Also if I now open the code on Perforce screen, I already see the new changes made.
Scenario 3:
Just on a Perforce screen, if I check a file out and don't make any changes, I obviously dont want to submit as there are no changes. In this case, how can i "disable" check-out so that my fellow programmers dont think i'm working on it??
Scenario3:
So here are 2 ways i consider a good usage of the plugin:
Use Revert Unchanged Files:
Before you begin development of a feature, checkout the entire tree/branch that your changes will be concentrated around in future. You can do this by right-click the relevant package in package explorer. Once you want to submit, Project->Right-click->Team->Revert Unchanged Files. Now, you can submit your changelist.
This approach stands very useful if you know you will be editing a lot of files or replacing files.
Ofcourse, others can see that you have checked out the files.
Enable Auto checkout:
Incase you are going to make few changes, you should enable autocheckout. This will checkout the file when you begin to make edits. Eclipse->Preferences->Team->Perforce->Enable support for workbench edit..
detailed explainations here. Its a good idea to have this enabled always as it checks out on demand.
However, this does not monitor the filesystem so and code/libs you replace outside of eclipse are not checked out.
For Scenario 3, you can change a workspace option to prevent submitting unchanged files:
SubmitOptions: reverttunchanged
If you have a file checked out (open for edit), others will be able to see that. I guess I'm not clear on why you check a file out if you don't intend to modify it?
If you are going to setup this way and are also using the desktop client, I recommend the following steps in the desktop client:
1.) Open your desktop Perforce client
2.) Click “Connection” on the global menu
3.) Select “Edit Current Workspace…”
4.) Under the “Advanced” tab select “allwrite”
5.) Click Apply, then OK
