IntelliJ: Code completion not working - no suggestions
I cannot seem to get autocompletion to work on my IntelliJ 2016.1.1.
'm trying to use the ctrl + spacebar shortcut in IntelliJ for code completion but every time I do it, it returns "no suggestions".
This is my project directory, even if I type in starter and then press ctrl-spacebar, there is "no suggestion" even though the file exist in the project directory. I took the code off this repo (https://github.com/cfaddict/spring-boot-intro) and open the project within this directory (web-applications/static-content/pom.xml):
I have tried the following according to this thread (Intellij IDEA CE 12 Android XML Code Completion not working):
-
Go to File->Power Save Mode and disable it - it is off.
-
Go to Preferences->Editor->Code Completion and check Autopopup code completion - this has been checked
-
Go to File->Invalidate Caches and restart. - done and no change
What is it that I'm doing wrong? I'm using IntelliJ community edition.

CSS/JavaScript completion is supported only in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, see https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html.
Community Edition provides only basic syntax highlighting for these file types.
I have Ultimate Edition and I have the same problem and completed the same steps. I even uninstalled and reinstalled. I'm working with Java. I have intellj 2017.1.4
Please file a ticket to support via https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/requests/new.
Attach the following:
- sample project to reproduce
- idea.log (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085)
- a short video of the problem or a sequence of the screenshots with the complete IDE window showing where completion doesn't work
thanks
Hey, recently i came to face the same problem with intellij idea not showing autocomplete. And, then i figured it out that, following solution solve my problem.
Unchecked the power save mode which is on the right bottom corner with icon of man.
Thank you.
I had similar issue. Basic code completion was not working for java code on intellij CE macOS. The shortcut ctrl + space was used in the system shortcuts for another app. I went to macOS system preferences -> keyboard -> shortcuts and removed ctrl+space association.
my inteliji is not picking 'close' and 'read' functons ...any solution ?
Hello,
Is it possible to provide sample project for investigation?
