PhpStorm keeps indexing over and over again Follow

FILE | invalidate caches and restart seems to have fixed it.

@Rémy 

Works ! 

The issue occured in my case when i switched project locations.

Go to File -> Invalidate Caches and Restart.  Fixed my issue - https://www.prodjex.com/2018/03/phpstorm-stuck-re-indexing/

This does not help at all! It keeps indexing node_modules even when it's excluded. It all started again since two updates to php storm.

Thanks Remy!

File -> Invalidate Caches and Restart is not solving the problem for me!

Manjaro Linux (latest)

WebStorm (latest)

Angular (latest, huge project)

Invalidate Caches / Restart is not working for me... I have cloned a new copy from a repo and PyCharm start to "updating indices". Why does it scan from /home/my-home and not only the project's directory?

Invalidate Caches / Restart is not working for me :(

@Jarek please update to 2018.1.6 - it contains tons of fixes compared with vanilla 2018.1 build.

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