A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

idea 2020.3 with the 1.4.21 kotlin plugin is very buggy for me. a lot of time things don’t work and errors are only logged to idea.log instead of the crash reporter. but sometimes just nothing happens at all. I select a move refactoring, click ok, and nothing happens, without a single line written to idea.log

IDEA 1.0 and 2.0 was really a joy to use when it was released, and for a long time it seemed like jetbrains products just have zero bugs. but in the last years that has really changed. I mean every software can have bugs, sure. but bugs that result in just doing nothing without even an error logged are a really bad sign IMO

Can you please share some steps to reproduce this?

most of the time it does not reproduce, maybe because the error occurred before and the ide state is somehow corrupted

but i think i can reproduce it, will now file a ticket

<https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-259478> it turns out the problem is totally different than i initially thought, but i only noticed it after looking at the screenshot that i made.
