Intellij IDEA does not detect file changes, so it does not start until it starts

Question

I have the following class:

public class MyClass { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("abc"); } } 

When I run the main method, "abc" prints as expected.

Then, after changing “abc” from “def”, I got “abc” instead of “def”. I tried to manually launch the "Create" button, but I got the same wrong result. In addition, on the tab "Event Log" every time I try to run this method, the message "All files are up to date" is logged, although I changed it to print.

If I right-click the file and select "Compile MyClass.java", everything will work as expected.

I have a problem with my workstation (xubuntu 14.04) after I changed my hard drive to SSD (if that matters). Other colleagues with SSD and without them do not have this problem, so I think that this may be the wrong IDEA configuration.

Answer 1

you can try to invalidate the cache and restart intellij, in many cases this will help.

File -> Invalid Cache / Reboot

Answer 2

I solved this problem by uninstalling the Intellij IDEA 14.0.3 Community Edition installation and its configuration files from ~ / .IdeaIC14, installing the older version (13.1.6), and then reinstalling 14.0.3 and using the configuration files from the older installation.

So, I came to the conclusion that this could be an IDEA problem if you perform a new installation of 14.0.3.

Can anyone confirm this problem?

Try removing and rebuilding the artifact in your deployment configurations. It does the trick for me.
