Intelli J IDEA takes forever to update indices
There are several answers in the Forums for different IntelliJ Versions, here is what I´ve tried (IntelliJ 13).
- Give more Memory. Does not help anything with the 'Updating indices'
- Delete .idea and iml in project. Does not help.
In the end what resolved my problem with 'Updating indices' was:
- delete 'caches' folder in user/.IntellIJIdea13/system/
Delete caches in library folder
rm -rv ~/Library/Caches/IdeaIC15/caches/
On Mac OSX the location of cache is ~/Library/Caches
I tried deleting the cache and it works perfectly. Thanks for the solution friends.
Just:
- Open IntelliJ IDEA
- Select the File menu
- Select the Invalidate Caches / Restart... menu.
Once selected you get a pop-up with a bunch of options. - Select Invalidate and Restart
and before doing that make sure you saved all your changes else it might delete some unsaved changes.
Once you hit that, IntelliJ will restart and then you can see that all the indexing is done really fast.
