IntelliJ freezes forever when indexing

[lachlan burnside]

I have recently upgraded to a newer version of Illuminated Cloud and it hasn't been working. Whenever I open a project, a progress bar on the bottom right says 'indexing' and gets to maybe a third of the way. Then, the entire IntelliJ application permanently freezes. In other words, the IDE is completely unusable. Please help!

More details are below.

Illuminated Cloud - Version 2.0.5.6 - Build 20190215084325

IntelliJ version 2017.2.5

Hi lachlan burnside ,

i am currently working with a very big ORG (more than 10k files) and yes the indexing is definitely not fast (as expected) but doesn't crash. You should definitely try to install a newer versione of intellij , the one that u are using is almost 2 years old.

When I regenerate the offline symbol table, it causes indexing to keep running over and over again (completes and then starts over). IntelliJ doesn't crash per se, but the only way i can get it to stop indexing is to close and reopen IntelliJ.

IntelliJ 2019.1 Illuminated Cloud - 2.0.5.6

Adam, can you verify whether you are using IntelliJ IDEA with a Java 8 JRE or a Java 11 JRE? There are known issues with the latter right now. For more context refer to this thread:

I'm using JRE: 1.8.0_202-release-1483-b39 amd64

[Scott Wells]

Thanks for verifying, Adam. Can you provide an idea.log from when this is happening so I can see what might be going on?

[Adam Conde]

Hey Scott, looks like it's not happening anymore. My intelliJ looks like it was updated automatically to 2019.1.1, so maybe that resolved the problem.

[Scott Wells]

Ah, okay. Good to hear...maybe? I'll resolve this for now and feel free to reopen if it comes back. Thanks for letting me know!
