Refresh Metadata does not work with nested folders and Retrieve works incorrectly
Issue #1468
resolved
I have project with source in SFDX format, setup against sandbox (connection was made through sfdx auth:web:login). In the project, I’ve organized classes into dedicated folders - ex:
forceApp/main/default/classes/integrations/SomeIntegration/SomeIntegrationClass.cls
Refresh Metadata does not do anything if done on this class. The message says “No components were refreshed”. If I retrieve metadata and select this class to retrieve, it will appear as new file in forceApp/main/default/classes/SomeIntegrationClass.cls
This is also problem if the code is in separate package ex:
- forceApp/main/default/classes
- forceApp/commons/triggerHandler/classes
I’d expect Illuminated Cloud to find the location of the class and retrieve/refresh it correctly. Class should be retrieved into main/default/classes only if it does not exist in the project at all.
Kind Regards

forceApp/commonswas added as source root. I’ve tried addingforceApp/commons/triggerHandlerand a few other combinations but it does not help.I can see that the files are recognized as sources though, because for ex. “Show xml files” setting is applied to them.

Okay. That rules out the potential simple solution. Please enable debug logging for Metadata Retrieval, reproduce the issue, and email the resulting
idea.log*files to support@illuminatedcloud.com for review. -

Done, the log was sent.
Thank you for looking into this.

FYI: I’ve submitted this also as bug in sfdx cli. sfdx retrieve does not work correctly right now, as it always places retrieved files in “main/default” folder.

Have you added
forceApp/commons/triggerHandleras a source root? If not, is the problem resolved by doing so? You can add it as a source root by right-clicking on that folder and clicking Mark Directory as>Source root.
