CLion infinitely building symbols

Question

When I start CLion, it loads an existing project by itself. It infinitely builds symbols to update indices. It does that even if I stop loading a project. Every time I open a project it infinitely build symbols. I could not find a way to stop the building symbols. After few minutes the whole CLion disappears and I have to start it again and it does the same thing over and over again. Is there a way to stop this? I am using CLion 1.0.1 . Your help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I'm having the same issue due to not enough memory in the -Xmx setting in the vmoptions file. Apparently for our project 16gb is not enough because I've allocated as much as I can and it still fails.

Answer 2

I had the same issue, but in my case I had run out of disk space on the virtual machine. Cleaning up disk space made the symbols loading finish immediately.
