Intellij IDEA 13 - Can't open Project Structure dialog anymore - intellij-idea

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.

How to fix Ctrl Click in IntelliJ Idea

I found, that Ctrl-Click (for example, on class usage) doesn't work on one of my installations of Idea. Simultaneously:
Context menu action like Go To -> Implementation(s) works
Control click in PyCharm works
Machine is remote desktop Windows Server 2016. Idea is 2021.2.
What can be done to fix?
Had a similar issue due to Rider importing settings from Visual Studio on the first run. Resolved it by changing the Keymap (Rider->Preferences->Keymap->Keymap drop down) back to the default one (IntelliJ).
In our case it was really an old SonarLint plugin. Check in Settings / Plugins. After the update the problem was solved.
I was having the same problem and going to File -> Reapair IDE... fixed it for me.

Intellij IDEA search functionality always stops working

The find in path search works on newly cloned/downloaded repos. But I notice after a few days, all search functionality in the IDE just stops working. Searching for anything string turns up 0 results in project, module, directory paths. Anyone else experience this? It's infinitely infuriating T.T
OS: Mac
Version: Intellij IDEA Ultimate 2020
Settings: only default
Please, try to invalidate caches via File | Invalidate Caches / Restart option.
It's a known issue IDEA-266391 and you can update IntelliJ IDEA to the 2021.1.1 version with the fix.
So it turns out this is happening whenever I change branches. So your suggested soln above works well. thanks!

Launch Grails 3 app from IntelliJ w/ auto-reloading enabled

It looks like IntelliJ's (Ultimate EAP 15) support for Grails 3 is in the early stages yet. If I do Run -> Debug 'Grails:My App', I'm able to launch an app from inside IntelliJ, I can set breakpoints and it works as expected.
If I make changes however, I see in the console that the file is recompiled, but when I hit reload in the browser, I don't see the changes reflected there. I have to stop and restart the app in IntelliJ before I see them. Anyone know how I can get the auto-reloading working?
After chasing this for a week, this post finally provided an explanation.
It's actually a Grails issue, not a problem with IntelliJ's Grails integration: spaces in a file's path will break automatic reloading. Renaming my project from Grails Demo to GrailsDemo got everything straighted out. (Storing a project in a folder like My Documents will also cause trouble.) The post's author indicates that this started with version 2.4.4 and it's still happening for me in 3.0.4.

IntelliJ "Executing pre-compile tasks...:"

I am working on a large project using IntelliJ 14.1 latest.
Recently, whenever I stop editing for a minute or so, IntelliJ freezes for several minutes with the message "Executing pre-compile tasks...:" followed by the message "All files are up-to-date".
Any idea what is causing this behavior and what I can do to prevent it?
I faced this problem and it drove me nuts for about 3 days. The existing answers did not solve it. Neither did deleting preferences, caches, re-installing IntelliJ on my machine helped. I even tried to turn my Mac off and on again
Finally, what worked for me was to delete the .idea folder (which is usually located in the root of project)
Of course I feel stupid. Hope this helps someone else because this is one of the top hits for those keywords.
IntelliJ version : IDEA 2019.2.3 (Community Edition) on macOS 10.14.6
Your problem becasue 2 things:
- In source code have pre-compile script.
- IntelliJ IDEA build project automaticaly when IDE is idle.
Solution:
Choose menu File \ Settings... or press combine keys: Ctrl+Alt+S.
Choose Build, Execution, Deployment \ Compiler , uncheck item Make project autimatically (only work while not running / debugging)
or type in search box at top-left corner, search keyword something like the above.

Custom plugin with live templates not working in PHPStorm but does in Intellij IDEA?

I've just created a basic plugin which basically adds a live-template / snippet to PHPStorm.
I installed it by zipping the files together, entering PHPStorm > Settings > Plugins and clicking on "Install plugin from disk". After selecting the correct zip file, it appeared in the plugins list, asked me to restart and all worked well - or at least that's what I thought!
My issue is, when I go back to my Settings > Live template the new liveTemplate group doesn't show up and when I try and trigger the live template using "test-tag" followed by TAB it just expands to "" this is not the expected behaviour. Why is this happening??
https://github.com/JasonMortonNZ/test-phpstorm-plugin
NOTE: The strange thing is though, when I install the plugin in Intellij IDEA 13 it works perfectly. The live template group appears in the settings and the live templates trigger fine! Why would this be? Sooo frustrating :(
