IntelliJ idea stucked on "loading project" screen
Delete the .idea folder from project worked for me.
[from comments]
Warning: While it works, if you invalidate the cache, it destroys all histories of all projects
So apparently, solution was simple but difficult to find.Here is how it worked :
- close all projects in intellij, don't close IDE, just all projects.
- delete the
.idea/folder from the project which was getting stucked. - open the same project in intellij
- do
File->invalidate caches and restart - done
