Any tips on making a header and footer with Kotlin and IntelliJ

i would like to have a config.yml for my kotlin/jvm console application, it’s a gradle project. should i put it in the resources folder ?

Installed today new version of IDEA: IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2.2 (Ultimate Edition) Build #IU-222.4167.29, built on September 13, 2022 And since then I get a lot of warnings that IDEA is accessing all kind of directories and locations on my computer (Downloads, Networks, ….). This is on MacOS, so that is why I get warnings since I didn’t give access rights to those directories before to IDEA and also never was asked for it. What is the reason IDEA suddenly scans many parts of my computer, assuming it is IDEA that is causing this behaviour and not a plugin that just at same time happen to be upgraded ?

What is the easiest way to downgrade Kotlin plugin? I can’t see 222-1.7.10-release-334-IJ4167.29 or any alternative version here https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6954-kotlin/versions

Alright, deleted my

.idea

and

.gradle

and it's all back to one single tab and one single operation

when changing the signature of a variable, the result will be an

internal val myvariable: MyType

this breaks my code because internal visibility modifier wasn't initially there. I can't change this either I believe, or is there a setting I missed?

I'm ashamed to ask at this point but how do you typically exclude your

build

folders from search results? I've browsed a bunch of stack overflow answers and the easiest way seems to be to add

build

to the list of ignored folders. But this has a number of drawbacks like the fact that it seems to be a global and also more importantly removes

build

from the project explorer completely so it's not possible to go in generated files for an example. How do you do this?

default

is a java keyword, I suppose that’s why you can’t use it in package name

Anyone know if there’s any documentation for the way the toolbox app listens on local ports? I can reverse engineer something, but a spec would be nice

How supported is it to downgrade the IDEA version used to open a given project? If I opened a project with 2022.3, is it ok to open it with 2022.2 without re-importing the project? In other terms, is the

.idea

binary format forward compatible? 😅

Is there any way to fix this (turn highlighting back on) without restarting the IDE (which for some reason reindexes tons of libraries)? This pops up pretty randomly and doesn’t go away even if the file is 100% correct 😕

How can you change the auto insert of

trimIndent()

to

trimMargin()

?

Has anyone this issue on latest EAP?

Cannot open Local Terminal
Failed to start [C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe]

Error starting winpty: agent executable does not exist: ...\winpty-agent.exe

Is there a way to use both

CamelHumps

words but fall back to default, non-camel-humps behavior as needed? My use case is that I often use multi-cursor to select stuff, and would like to be able to select e.g. all fields here:

class Foo(
  val <|>id: String,
  val <|>someComplexProp: Int,
  val <|>otherProp: Unit,
)

with cursors at

<|>

I can’t find an easy way to select all the properties. Sometimes

extend selection

works as it’ll select single word first and whole identifier second, but that doesn’t work with identifiers that are just one word (like

id

here).

I am trying the experimental

..<

operator in IntelliJ and I have already added the opt in via

@OptIn(ExperimentalStdlibApi::class)

but IntelliJ still produces this error:

The feature "range until operator" is only available since language version 1.8

how do I resolve it?

In the latest version of IDEA (IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2.3 (Ultimate Edition)) a full screen IDE window turns completely black after inactivity/sleep. And only if I un-maximise this window, the content is drawn again. This in on a macbook pro with M1 processor. Anyone else seen this behaviour?

Do you know an option to refresh the diff viewer after running tests again? At the moment, I have to open and close the diff view manually after each run.

How do I disable * imports in my IDE upon code formatting or code completion?

Any resources for learning PSI (Program Structure Interface) generated by the Intellij. I couln't find any detailed documentation on it.

somehow this doesnt seem right? Why is the jetbrains folder taking 34GB of storage?

hi , when I try to add a new module to my project , I see that kotlin is missing from language list . is this a bug ? I have IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2.3 (Community Edition) Build #IC-222.4345.14 and kotlin plugin 222-1.7.20-release-201-IJ4167.29 screenshot

How can I make intellij close the currently visible tab by CMD+W? It does it by default, but I must have pressed some keyboard shortcut and now I need to focus on each tab each time and then press CMD+W again to close it.

Working with a ktor project in Intellij, added dependencies for cassandra from datastax and the CPU usage of intellij is permanently at max

Whenever a have a blank string literal in my code, as in

val x = ""

, it's underlined and on hovering it says "Ctrl+click to navigate in remote FS view". What is remote FS view?If I don't use it, how can I get rid of this distracting underline?

I want to change the modifier key that I hold for the "CTRL + Mouse Hover" action, i dont know what to call that exactly even, so its hard to search in settings for the action. Any idea what the action is called?

Why this:

class Foo

fun Foo.test() {
    println("hello")
}

val x = Foo::test

x(Foo())

doesn’t work in an IntelliJ/AndroidStudio Kotlin scratch file? It shows: “‘test’ is a member and an extension at the same time. References to such elements are not allowed” error. But it works in Kotlin playground: https://pl.kotl.in/ubsrNwrCx ? Is this a bug?

I have a weird construction for which IntelliJ complains:

class Test {
    suspend fun test1() = test3<String>(::test2)
    suspend fun test2() = withContext(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) { }

    private suspend inline fun <reified T> test3(block: suspend () -> Unit): List<T> {
        block.invoke()
        return listOf()
    }
}

IntelliJ suggests that I can remove the suspend keyword from the lambda parameter of test3, but if I remove it, it no longer compiles. The reason IntelliJ gives is

Redundant 'suspend' modifier: lambda parameters of suspend function type uses existing continuation.

Is this an error in IntelliJ or the compiler?

its so frustrating that you can’t see sources of kotlin std library for most of the classes/funs, i.e. Map.mapNotNull
