is it the 'downloaded shared indexes' that were broken you think?

01/15/2025, 3:04 PMis it the 'downloaded shared indexes' that were broken you think?No I don't think so. Sometimes the "link" between an artifact (e.g., a jar or klib file) and its sources go missing. That's the part I still can't explain to myself. Removing the cache - which lets the IDE re-index all available files - and re-opening the IDE fixed the attached sources.
