Stop validating static resources

[Michael Sobczak]

I have a lot of JavaScript code in static resources. I don't know if its intellij or Illuminated Cloud, but after every change I make, the IDE validates the resource, which takes a long time and prevents me from manually saving the resource to the SF org until the validation is done. Is there a way to stop the IDE from validating static resources?

Hi, Michael. I've been meaning to break static resources out into their own configuration section, but for now you can change On Edit behavior to Do Nothing for Other Metadata under the Validation and Deployment settings. That will also disable validation for other non-Apex/Visualforce metadata types, e.g., .object files and such, but it should resolve this issue with editing of static resources for you. Please let me know if this doesn't get you what you want.

OK, I'll give that a try. Where exactly do I find that setting?

[Scott Wells]

Under Settings>Languages & Frameworks>Illuminated Cloud, then the Validation and Deployment tab. Let me know if you can't find it.

Michael, feel free to reopen this if this configuration change doesn't give you the behavior that you want.

That worked perfectly. Thanks!

Glad to hear. Thanks for following up!
