Log Viewer not refreshing logs

[Mukkamalla, Suryatej]

When I go to my log viewer and click Refresh, the logs are not updated with the latest ones from my connection. Instead, it still shows the same logs from a few months back. Is there some cache I need to clear out before new logs will be displayed?

Update: The refresh functionality works when I open the developer console in my org. But then, that kind of defeats the purpose of the log viewer. Unless I am misunderstanding the purpose of the log viewer.

Suryatej, there shouldn't be any caching in Illuminated Cloud, and I agree that you shouldn't have to go into Developer Console to get the logs to be updated. Can you see if there was any kind of an error in idea.log from the refresh attempt?

[Mukkamalla, Suryatej]

I checked the idea.log file and it is not updated when I do the Log refresh. The log is the same before and after I try the refresh.

[Scott Wells]

Suryatej, sorry, but I wasn't expecting idea.log to be updated on a refresh...I'm just wondering what activity you see in the log when you perform a refresh, in particular looking for things like errors or stack traces. Do you see anything useful?

[Mukkamalla, Suryatej]

No, there is no activity on the log of any kind.

Okay, let's try this...add this to Help>Debug Log Settings:

#com.illuminatedcloud.client.ForceComApiClient

then close and reopen your project (or restart the IDE), and then try to refresh the log viewer. You should get quite a bit of debug logging from the SOAP API calls that look like:

Please send those to me so I can see what calls are being made to the server and what the responses look like. Feel free to email them to me if you'd prefer since they may contain some information about the contents of your org.

I'm going to resolve this for now since the issue seems to be how Salesforce is responding to a SOQL query for ApexLog which was reproduced in Developer Console.
