how do i use intellij's search & replace templates to take a statement and turn it into a fixed statement expression. It just says expressions aren't allowed. Do i need to wrap it in quotes? e.g. search is

@Slf4j

, replace is

val log = KotlinLogger {}

. how do i get that result?

specifically i get,

a non-expression cannot be replaced with an expression

Is it somehow possible in Idea to somehow automatically stop the Gradle daemons when the build is completed? I use Kotlin, and starting a Gradle daemon takes minor time (~1s) compared to the Kotlin compilation (from several seconds to lots of seconds). But sometimes the Gradle daemon keeps locking some files that makes the Idea build fail. Only stopping the daemons explicitly solves the problem (by

gradlew --stop

). I use Gradle 7.4.2. Thanks!

Can IntelliJ show unused fields of data classes automatically? Are there annotations etc that prohibit this?

i'm having an issue with intellij not importing my settings (2022.1.3). i will export a settings, remove my custom live template. i see the exported zip file has the template. Then i import the templates and they're not in the settings, after it restarts. I even tried doing a full settings export/import. I am on enterprise and syncing with the intellij sync feature. It's possible there could be a permission issue, that's the only thing i can think of. How can i troubleshoot this?

it seems that Kotlin Intellij live templates no longer have the following variables:

functionParameterTypes()

,

functionParameters()

. Is this true? They are returning empty when I try porting a java template to kotlin. I do not see them in the dropdown, what can I use instead?

I submitted an issue for this, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-297014/Intellij-Kotlin-Live-Templates-Search-Replace-methodParameterTypes-missing-from-Java

Were you ever disappointed there is no `clamp`function in kotlin? There is but it's named

coeraceIn

. Or there is no

exists

? Its named

any

. I highlight this, IMO overlooked, proposal would help in such situations.

I'm having some issues with having IntelliJ play nice with Java Comment Preprocessor. Since I'm using a multi-module project I need to set the kotlin/scala sources to the preprocessed folder so other modules use the right sources. However, when (re)importing the project intelliJ continuously sets the preprocessed folder in build as sources root instead of the normal

src/main/kotlin

, making IntelliJ stop giving hints. Is there a way to change the sourcesets in gradle while keeping the source root markings of IntelliJ as they were? I have a sample project (actually built for something else) which has this issue. I marked it in TODOs for instance here. I did an attempt with

idea.module {}

in

build.gradle.kts

but that didn't seem to do anything except from giving me duplicate content roots... Any tips? I was personally thinking I could maybe set the source folders back after building/deploying or something , but I also couldn't figure out how to do that...

I have trouble running Shared Indexes plugin on Android Studio 2022.2.1. I have an active license but the plugin always reports that

intellij.indexing.shared.core

is missing/not activated. It is not listed under

disabled_plugins.txt

. In fact, that file does not even exist. Running Linux (NixOS).

I’ve seen arguments about using tabs instead of spaces in code editors in order for people to freely pick for themselves if a tab would take 2 spaces or 4 spaces. Basically so that each team member can pick the one of their liking of how the code shows on their IDE. I however can’t seem to find where such an option would be inside IntelliJ. Does it exist, and if yes how would I go about editing it, has anyone got any experience with such a thing?

i'm trying to get this as an inspection to suggest to replace StringUtils.isEmpty(myvar) with myvar.isEmptyOrNull(). Works great...except, it does not delete the StringUtils part preceding it. Why is this, and how can I fix it so it does?

I have a search template of

$Before$.$MethodCall$($Parameter$)

, problem is..it matches on

<http://log.info|log.info> { }

as well as

<http://log.info|log.info> ()

, how can i get it to not match on lambda? I set complete match but it still doesn't listen to me, i want it to take the parentheses as is

I have a simple Kotlin/Gradle project. I'd like to make it a bit more complicated and add a new module in IntelliJ. File > New > Module... Kotlin isn't one of the listed language choices! Any thoughts as to what I've done horribly wrong? This is IntelliJ Ultimate 2022.1.3 and the parent project is definitely Kotlin.

is there a standardized IntelliJ benchmark to test different hardware/OS configurations ? Which builds a test realistically sized java or kotlin project, triggers some common tasks etc.

is this the future of integrated development environments?

No idea why does intellij submit a single report ('Report and Clear') three times. Running IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2 Beta (Ultimate Edition)

Is it just me or do you also think IntelliJ auto-generating import statements for symbols in the same file is somewhat weird? Example in 🧵.

I just installed intellij 2022.1.3 CE to use instead of Android Studio to see if it handled KMM better. When opening my project I get

This version of the Android Support plugin for IntelliJ IDEA (or Android Studio) cannot open this project, please retry with version 2021.1.1 or newer.

I assume 2022.1.3 is newer than 2021.1.1 Anyone know what I need to do to resolve this, or can I ignore the import error.

Sometimes when I do refactoring like rename/delete/create class field/constructor parameter I get compilation errors that I don't call constructor with right parameters even that I/IDEA did update all call sites correctly. IDEA thinks that everything is OK (which it is) in editor, but when I run tests or compilation I get these compilation errors. Calling

gradle

from command line also works, and it does not fail with these errors. Does this happens to anyone else?

I'm importing a class that sits in such Kotlin package: `import it.krzeminski.githubactions.actions.`8398a7`` . The problem is that at some moments, IntelliJ "simplifies" the import to

import it.krzeminski.githubactions.actions

. Looks like a bug - has anyone encountered it?

What about including

Reload all Gradle projects

into

Repair IDE

?

Are there any tips to improve the intellij terminal performance? Using tui tools like

tig

or

k9s

are almost unbearably slow (even

vim

can be at times)

Is there a way to make Code Completion in Idea to show the properties and methods of the receiver when inside a lambda with receiver and there is nothing typed at the cursor? This would be very useful in exploring DSL APIs in the IDE.

Is anyone else having trouble creating a Kotlin JVM Gradle project in IntelliJ 2022.1.4 using Kotlin Plugin 221-1.7.10-release-333-IJ5591.52? When I create one via the New Project Dialog it generate the project but in Kotlin files at the top of the editor it says Kotlin is not configured. Configuring Kotlin by clicking on the link has no effect. Also, none of the project dependencies are showing in the project window under External Dependencies, but they are listed in the Gradle window.

What the hell? Remote Development in Intellij is literally unusable. It isn't even able to build the project... Ok... I could simply use

sshfs

but Intellij becomes INCREDIBLY slow with it

Is there a reason for the Kotlin plugin not providing help when hovering over language keywords (such as

fun

,

while

,

import

,

sealed

,

internal

)? I think such a feature would greatly help newcomers to the language.

I just updated to new version 2022.2 and it switched to new UI. Is there anyway I can revert it? I tried to find an option in settings but didn't see anything. (I had tried out the new ui in a separate EAP version)

Hi, why am I getting this error when I try to use the new type parameter inference feature? I, m using latest IntelliJ and plugin version and Kotlin 1.7.10 dependencies.
