Index not running
Hello:
I have seen where people have complained about how long the index takes to run, and up to this point I had noticed that in my environment the index takes a few seconds to run after a Maven install is completed, but that didn't bother me so much. I just let IDEA do what it needs to do and that's it.
Now recently I noticed that the index does NOT run at all, or if it does it must be running in the background or something. The thing is I ALWAYS could see that the index was running by watching that green slider moving at the bottom right of the IDE. Now I see nothing, ever.
Is there perhaps an issue with my project configuration that is causing the index to not run after a build? If not what could be the possible causes for the index to no longer run, or is it running and I just don't see that it is running anymore?
FYI: IDEA ULTIMATE 2017 2.1 Build #IU-172.3544.35 built on July 31, 2017
Thank you for your comments, advice and consultation

Check idea.log (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085) for exceptions. Try File | Invalidate Caches | Invalidate and Restart. Make sure Power Save mode is not enabled.
Thank you sir.
I have disabled Power Saver mode. I have invalidated caches | restarted. When the IDE restarted it ran an index for a good 15 - 20 seconds. Then I started a Maven clean, then install, after witch NO index was run.
I opened theC:\Users\gmarshall\.IntelliJIdea2017.2\system\log file and found this interesting entry:
Cannot load C:\Users\gmarshall\.IntelliJIdea2017.2\config\plugins\idea-multimarkdown
com.intellij.util.xmlb.XIncludeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: \META-INF\version-notes.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)
...
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: \META-INF\version-notes.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)
This entry in the log file is interesting because I see the version-notes.xml file exactly in the directory where this exception states it cannot find it.
Your thoughts?
Thanks again

I don't think it's related. Does IDE see the dependencies and provide the correct code completion? In this case the index is working fine and there is nothing to worry about.
