Autocomplete does not work for Node.js core modules

Using WebStorm 10.0.4, autocompletion for Node.js 0.12.7 does not work.

These are my settings / errors in WebStorm:

I also ran "Invalidate Caches / Restart".

The problem occurs in multiple projects.

Seems something is wrong with 'Node.js 0.12.7 Core Modules' library - most likely, no files are attached to it. Please select this library and
press 'Edit...' - what can you see? If it's empty, I'd suggest removing this library, restarting WebStorm and downloading Node.js core modules again using 'Configure...' button in Node.js and NPM settings

Hi Elena,

I have the same issue as Alexander (or at least the same symptoms). I did as you said but nothing changes for me.
The Edit Dialog looks as in this picture:

I've already tried multiple version of node.js (0.12.7 as Alexander, but also the new 4.x builds)
Revalidating, restarting and even reinstalling did not help.

Cheers,
Fabian

Thanks, Elena this did the trick :)

Does your problem also concern to core modules ('fs', etc.) completion/resolving? Or, is it about providing completion for your local node_modules?

It's about core modules. The local node_modules resolve just fine.

I found a workaround, in case anybody else has the sam issue:

I opened the Library setting for the Node.js Core modules, removed every file from there, applied.
After that I went to the settings again and manually added the content of Node's lib folder to the library (not as a folder, but as individual files - adding it as a folder messes with the autocomplete for require)
