I am trying to work on a large Javascript file in Jetbrains WebStorm 8 and I am getting a message at the top of the editing window that says:
File size exceeds configured limit (2560000). Code insight features not available.
How can I increase the 'configured limit' to get access to all features?
738
Code insight features include "inspections" and code formatting. I know both those features didn't work on an 8MB XML file I opened until I increased the file size limit.
Locate the idea. properties file in the bin directory in IntelliJ IDEA's installation directory. The default location is C:/Program Files/JetBrains/IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 10.5. 1/bin.
In IntelliJ 2016 and newer you can change this setting from the Help menu, Edit Custom Properties (as commented by @eggplantbr).
On older versions, there's no GUI to do it. But you can change it if you edit the IntelliJ IDEA Platform Properties file:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------- # Maximum file size (kilobytes) IDE should provide code assistance for. # The larger file is the slower its editor works and higher overall system memory requirements are # if code assistance is enabled. Remove this property or set to very large number if you need # code assistance for any files available regardless their size. #--------------------------------------------------------------------- idea.max.intellisense.filesize=2500 This is built from Álvaro González's answer and How to increase IDE memory limit in IntelliJ IDEA on Mac?
Go to Help > Edit Custom Properties
Add:
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=999999 Restart the IDE.
