The IDE does not automatically ignore those directories when indexing, but it is possible to "exclude" the directory from the project. This will prevent indexing as well. Show activity on this post. the easier way is as follow: file --> settings --> (uncheck) Synchronize files on frame or editor tab activation.
If indexing takes a significant amount of time, then it's likely that your project has more than two modules. Normally, you don't need all of them at same time. If this is the case, you can temporarily set aside (unload) the modules that you don't need right now.
JDK indexes will be downloaded to index/shared_indexes in the IDE system directory. After that, IntelliJ IDEA will be using the suitable indexes whenever they are needed.
From the main menu, select File | Repair IDE. IntelliJ IDEA will automatically launch the first recovery step and refresh the virtual file system. IntelliJ IDEA will display a notification that you can use to continue or complete the recovery process.
You can stop synchronizing/indexing each time you switch to the IDEA and it's quite useful when dealing with big projects and outside build process which triggers indexing.
Just disable checkbox System Settings -> Synchronize files on frame or editor tab activation.
Make sure you run indexing manually to update hints when needed through Synchronize menu (Cmd-Alt-Y on Mac) or File -> Reload All from Disk to run it manually for IDEA 2020 running under Linux
Try:
File-> Invalidate Caches / Restart.
I think that this issue happens (at least for me it seems to be the reason) if you start commit and then close the IDE in the middle of the process.
Now, "excluding" folders is the only way to disable indexing when a change occurs in one of excluded folders (except for generated sources that mustn't be excluded).
Checked with Intellij 2016.2.5
I suggest you to tune your Intellij configuration, see this post : https://stackoverflow.com/a/22508853/779338
You Can easily resolve it.
Just Go to: File -> Setting -> Directories.
Stop all the files that are going to included and need to empty ADD Content Root.
Like This:
It may be because of libraries folder is added more than one sub folder in the project. example in my case i have node_modules folder in two locations in the project. one is under root directory(app-->node_modeules) another one is under(app-->test-->node_modules)
Simply Right click on each folder and then selected Mark Directory As --> Excluded
It resolved my problem. Hope it would be helpful.
