how do we get InteliJ/Gradle to recompile a Spring Boot app when debugging?

I see it's possible to have programmatically bold/italic/etc in the output console in Visual Studio.. is it anything similar possible in Idea?

is there any way to get rid of the one that comes bundled with intellj?

My Maven+Java+Kotlin project is getting unbearably slow. Editing Java files is okay but editing Kotlin files is excruciating. Typing anything results in 5+ second freezes where not even the cursor blinks. Everything works correctly, just super slow. Any quick things I should check? Is there a way to debug IntelliJ performance?

any way to get intermediate types in a method chain? (i.e., this)

Not sure if this is slightly off-topic or not (it is kinda-kotlin related), but I'm wondering why is not smart type completion used by default instead of normal "dumb" completion? Why do you have to press extra shift key instead of vice versa? What do I loose if I swap out bindings?

I have a module which I'd like to rename, Idea asks what to rename: module or directory. I want both

is there a good way to debug inline? For example having an equivalent breakpoint to this but if the line were

if(current == goall) return reconstructPath(cameFrom, current)

is there a way to create a kotlin program without specifying a main class, but rather a main function

is it possible to use Java Inspections like “Abstractions Issues”, ˜Class Metrics˜ within kotlin classes ?

Is there a setting in IntelliJ to add

.trimMargin()

instead of

.trimIndent()

when creating multiline strings?

IntelliJ has always been struggling to automagically suggest imports for extension functions within objects. I understand that the consensus seems to be creating a top-level file (which also works for import detection) that contains ext functions. However, in certain contexts an extension function may still be declared within an object, and it's admittedly very annoying to handle manual imports for that. Is this a known issue (or worse, desired behaviour)?

Hi! Could you please explain if it is an Intellij bug which suggests to add

final

or I miss something?

hi guys, I'm trying to use Scratch file, but I don't know how to make "log", or "print" something. I notice that exist a

Scratch output

but it does not show any printed data

I've been running into performance problems with IntelliJ (maybe it's the Kotlin plugin, I wouldn't know how to tell the difference) when working with certain Kotlin code (complex generics and files with lots of methods seem to do the trick). How can I debug this enough so that I can open a bug report? Are there tools to profile IntelliJ?

Any tips for getting better autocomplete / IDE help when doing groovy gradle work?

Hi! I'm using Kotlin from 1 month but i'm not understand how to edit the auto generation code position: in Java, when i must override some methods, the IDE autogenerates these methods at the end of the file while in Kotlin ad the beginning; i would like to have same behaviour of Java for Kotlin files.

Hi, does anyone know how to fix that issue that prevents me from writing Kotlin? I find no solution and it's driving me crazy! I'm trying my luck here as none of the workarounds I found on the internet worked and many use IDEA here.

Damn, somehow I broke my Intellij 2019.1.3 Community on macOS today. On every project(example: https://github.com/msink/kotlin-libui) I tried to compile it gives me errors like this:

* Source files: control.kt, disposable.kt, base.kt, image.kt, paint.kt, text.kt, drawarea.kt, layouts.kt, libui.kt, table.kt, utils.kt, widgets.kt, window.kt
 * Compiler version info: Konan: 1.2.1 / Kotlin: 1.3.31
 * Output kind: LIBRARY

e: org.jetbrains.kotlin.util.KotlinFrontEndException: Front-end Internal error: Failed to analyze declaration Color
Cause: Protocol message tag had invalid wire type.
File being compiled at position: (11,5) in /Users/simon/projects/kotlin-libui/libui/src/nativeMain/kotlin/draw/base.kt
The root cause was thrown at: InvalidProtocolBufferException.java:99

The compiling worked fine before. Uninstalled Intellij, cleared the cradle cache and the following folders: ~/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIdea2019.1 ~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIdea2019.1 ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2019.1 Does anyone have a clue what’s happening? Update: After deleting ~/.konan folder and gradle sync everything works again!! 🎉 😅

Turn off auto- import and only use the apply dependencies. Ensure you're using latest gradle, intellij and kotlin intellij plugin. No guarantee but if you aren't doing something above, your experience may improve. But this is why I still prefer groovy version, but I've also been working with gradle for years, so used to its syntax.

anyone here using IntelliJ on macOS Catalina?

2019.2 eap here, and now the suggestion window is always shown as 1px line, if I expand it normally with the mouse I can see the listed suggestions, but at the very next try, it's 1 pixel height again

example:

list
  .map {
    val xyz = "hello"
   // breakpoint here
   "hi"
  }

at the breakpoint the Variables window only shows me

this(receiver)

but it does not show

xyz

Is there any way to automatically insert the inferred type of a function through an ide command/keyboard shortcut? Eg if

fun a(): Int

Exists and I write

fun b() = a() + 2

I’d like to be able to automatically create

fun b(): Int = a() + 2

Currently I can view the inferred type but I still need to copy it myself, which isn’t easy with the pop up dialog

How do you search for all usages of a class, even if a class isn't explicitly mentioned? For example:

data class Test(val x: Int)
fun foo() = Test(3)
fun bar() {
    val test = foo()
    println(test)
}

Find usages of the Test class only yields the constructor call in

foo

, nothing about

bar

, even though it does obviously use it. I looked trough the find unsages settings, and there you can select a couple more things, eg "usages of functions" and "usages of properties", but that still does't cover my

bar

example. Is there a way to really find all usages?

not really related to Kotlin, but anyone here know if there is any way to search for methods with a certain return type?

the example shows a static variable, is it possible for a non-static variable of a very specific istance of a class? (cant test it right now in the wished project)

I am quite surprised that IntelliJ’ built in samples does not use the best of Kotlin (for exemple Kotlin DSL for Gradle). Is there any update incoming? I think these samples are a good way for people to learn how to use Kotlin and its tools.

VS has a nice feature that whenever you are in debug and click on code, it makes appear a small play button to automatically run the execution till there
