PhpStorm keeps indexing over and over again Follow

Rémy

Thanks, I'm giving this a try. But some of my exclusions are just guesses. Does JetBrains have a general recommendation for excluding files in certain kinds of projects (mine is a Laravel/Vue app). I've been using PHPStorm for several years, and have never come across this problem before.

Pweil2 When I had the indexation issue (long time ago) the indexation wouldn't stop for a second. I guess if that's your case to there might be something else going on... Also I guess it depends on your computers CPU and RAM. In my projects (Symfony/ Webpack) I exclude all vendor directories, logs directories, and build directories (JS that constantly gets recompiled during developpement) because they will cause a lot of reindexation and I don't need IDE analysis (syntax and stuff) on these.

Cardinal solution.
Resetting the cache didn't help me either.
But removing the following storm directories helped:

• BEFORE DELETING, MAKE A BACKUP OF DIRECTORIES DATA!
• If you keep your projects there, do not delete project files!
• After removing, I lost some PHPStorm settings, but for that I can continue working on the project.
• C:\Users\{UserName}\PHPStorm ...
• C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\JetBrains
• Be careful

There are no perfect products. PHPStorm the best I've seen and not expensive.
And the problem can be solved, described in a previous comment

That's odd we use PhpStorm in my company on many different computers with no issues.

Garad U, please contact support whenever you have issues, we can't fix a problem we are not aware of. Submitting your logs (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data) via Help | Contact Support is a good way to start. Thank you.

Obrigado Remy, deu certinho aqui!

invalidate caches and restart just helped me, too

Anna, could you please install the latest PhpStorm version? (2019.1.2 or 2018.2.7 if you have to stick with 2018.2.*)

Yo tambien tenia el mismo problema, si lo solvente con "Invalidate Caches and Restart"
me ocurrio por tener el proyecto en un disco externo.
