I am using the newest (updated) version of IntelliJ IDEA. I am coding in Javascript (React) and i've been using the One Dark theme for ages now.
But since the last update, everything is glitched.
So first problem:
The IDE is now allways starting in the white theme (which is related to the windows theme)
When i try to change the Theme, either nothing happens, or it just doesnt show any Themes, even tho i installed more than 14 (they are disabled tho).
Second problem:
I can not code in Javascript anymore. There is just no collor at all. No marking for functiond etc.
Third problem:
My IDE is crashing almost everytime, I try to open a new, or existing project.
Why is that, has someone simular issues, and what can i do, to prevent having to reinstall my IDE, as i do not want to set my IDE up again.
Thank you in regards
You will have to reinstall. But you can save the Config file.
So you can keep all your settings.
Here are the Paths for windows
Windows:
Configuration: %APPDATA%\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3
Plugins: %APPDATA%\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3\plugins
System: %LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3
Logs: %LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.3\log
Hope this helped.
Recently almost all my intellij shorctuts (defaults) stopped working. For example F9 which is a shortcut for "Resume program" currently shows all windows side by side. I've already tried solutions proposed in similar threads, I've looked into keyboard settings and did not found any conflicts there. I've also used dconf editor in order to make sure I did not miss anything - no luck there either. Any idea what may cause this?
I've figured it out - as it turned out my FN key was in always ON mode.
I use IntelliJ IDEA community (currently 2017.2) from both Windows and Linux with settings shared between the two via the settings repository. In the main this works well but sometimes I will open IntelliJ from either OS and find the font sizes for the editor, console and UI have increased from 14 to 17.
I notice that when this happens it's because FONT_SCALE in ~/.IdeaIC2017.2/config/settingsRepository/repository/ui.lnf.xml has been changed from 1.0 to 1.25 by the commit made when I previously closed IntelliJ on the other OS. This seems to happen occasionally in both directions. I'm not changing anything myself that should affect this.
How do I prevent this from happening?
I've reported a bug, please follow for updates:
IDEA-172611 Don't share FONT_SCALE setting between different operating systems
as already described in title, i'm not able to open the project structure dialog window in intellij anymore.
neither the shortcut (Ctrl+alt+shift+s) nor the menu element under File -> Project Structure nor the little button in the upper right corner do work.
Clarification: Menu element :
This "bug" occured suddenly as I wrote a web (vaadin/maven) project and tried to set up glassfish, where i often had to switch to the project structure dialog.
Since the first occurence i wasn't able to fix it by restarting intellij or switching projects.
This also happened on my laptop running the same intellij and windows version (Ultimate 13.0.1 Build: 133.331 on Windows 7 x64)
i appreciate any help!
This also happened to me, but removing new plugins etc didn't help.
Nor did nuking my project and rebuilding it from scratch.
In the end I deleted all caches, restarted Intellij and at last I could access the project settings again! By the way, I'm using Intellij 11.1 - mainly because I can't get 13 to start up, but that's another story
Your log shows that it is a bug in IntelliJ IDEA - they are trying to create file passing null pathname. Try to delete project files and reopen project from scratch (maybe you've lost some file) - if it won't help then you should create an issue here: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/ - You can even copy-paste text from your question and attach stacktrace
I had the same issue...upon further inspection in the log dump...I noticed the following:
ERROR - llij.ide.plugins.PluginManager - com.intellij.openapi.fileChooser.FileChooserDescriptor.setTitle(Ljava/lang/String;)V
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.intellij.openapi.fileChooser.FileChooserDescriptor.setTitle(Ljava/lang/String;)V
at com.jetbrains.python.sdk.PythonSdkType.getHomeChooserDescriptor(PythonSdkType.java:247)
Disabled the latest Python Plugin and restarted and everything is working normal again.
I remembered I had recently update my python plugin and am not using it presently so I was able to disable it without issue.
Hope this helps someone else.
This also happened to me. The comment above helped. I had just added some plugins. Disabled them and it started working again. Not sure exactly which one because I disabled all 4 -- Bean Validation Support, Bitbucket, Jelastic Cloud Platform Integration, and Quick Notes.
For me it has been resolved by switching off FindBugs plugin and restart IDEA. So Project Structure is available for me now.
One of the plugins might be causing it. To disable a plugin, go here:
You'll know for sure if a plugin is bad if you see this Exclamation picture:
Clicking on it will bring up a pop-up. To disable the plugin, click on this:
For me it got resolved just by restarting the intelliJ IDEA. I'm using intelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2018.1 edition.
Has anyone noticed that intellij 9 broke the auto scroll to source feature? it doesnt work 50% of the time.
Does anyone have a fix?
Can't reproduce, works perfectly fine.
Try to run IDEA with no plug-ins and with all the default settings (rename the profile folder for this).
Also try 9.0.3 EAP.
