Seriously when did IntelliJ become this bad? It used to be the most stable thing and now even the most basic project is just red everywhere. “Invalidate Caches” is not a solution, it’s a workaround (when it works after doing it 9001 times in a row-). #FixIntelliJ

Like I’m trying to make a reproducer for a IntelliJ bug but the reproducer is just one entire error it’s getting old

[ribesg]

This should not be an issue. I’m writing a basic settings.gradle.kts in a Gradle project stop telling me you can’t find java.lang.Object you’re an IDE running on the JVM ffs

Change the jdk

What do you mean? I just invalidates caches and restarted 3 times now, it works. Is IntelliJ known not to work with certain JDKs? I mean I’m not expecting for it to work with JDK16 just like that but I’m on 11

I had problems with some specific JDK vendor in X project and in Y project it works. It is really strange, I downloaded the JetBrains one and I set it as JAVA HOME

[ribesg]

I don’t know why they have their own JDK but it shouldn’t matter which vendor you use in your project… IIRC IntelliJ comes with their JDK and uses it for itself

[Javier]

Sometimes that jdk works, other times no, I am just changing from one to another when it happens 😕

Sadly it’s true. IntelliJ was the one example of bug free software that I knew. It was so bug free that I reported totally minor bugs. Also Java refactoring work much better than kotlin refactorings.

This problem looks like https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-1277. Please check that you have Gradle JDK == Project JDK.

[ribesg]

I indeed have them use the same JDK, in the same location, which is also my JAVA_HOME

[ribesg]

And unless IntelliJ selects a random JDK every time you reimport a project entirely, this cannot be the problem as it disappeared after multiple cache cleanups.
