IntelliJ setup and troubleshooting

NB! Please ensure that Intellij uses the same java installation as you do for building this project from command line. This ensures that Gradle task avoidance and build cache work properly and can greatly reduce build time.

Suggested plugins and settings:

google-java-format

Installation:

google format

Configuration:

enable google format

Note: If google-java-format generates errors in Intellij, see https://github.com/google/google-java-format/issues/787#issuecomment-1200762464.

Troubleshooting

Occasionally, Intellij gets confused, maybe due to the number of modules in this project, maybe due to other reasons. In any case, here's some things that might help:

Invalidate Caches > "Just restart"

  • Go to File > Invalidate Caches...
  • Unselect all the options
  • Click the "Just restart" link

This seems to fix more issues than just closing and re-opening Intellij :shrug:.

Delete your .idea directory

  • Close Intellij
  • Delete the .idea directory in the root directory of your local repository
  • Open Intellij
