editor does not recognize imports for codes in the same module

well I am stuck and can't program anymore :(
here is a copy of my screen it shows that a code cannot know about a class in the same package!
the BusMessage class does not compile fro the same reason: does not know about other classes in the same package!
help popup suggest that I rely on previous maven version of the module : but I want the currrent version!
HELP!

Hi Bernard,

Please try 'File | Invalidate Caches'.

Provide minimal but complete standalone project that illustrates the problem if the above doesn't help.

Denis

thanks for replying so quickly
but does not work

the problem is that it is not a standalone project but a big combination of  25 modules!
happily the current module is depending on only 2 other modules

stuck

thanks

The problem is that I've checked that the problem is not reproduced at local environment. And we can't go further if we are unable to reproduce it.

Can you try to work out minimal but complete standalone project that illustrates the problem?

Denis

since our project is open source I can send you a whole BIG zip
(but not through the forum here)
I suspect something stupid I did somewhere (but not obvious to me ... ;))

is that ok?
thanks

Sure. You can upload it to our ftp - ftp://ftp.intellij.net/.uploads/

Also I can just download it if you provide the link.

Denis

ok I put it under name ccs_project.zip
so the "culprit" id moduel org-lsst-ccs-core

thanks

Sorry but I don't see your IntelliJ IDEA project config there ('.idea' directory).

Denis

oops! sent another zip containing the .idea of the project
thanks

So, is it expected that ccs_project.zip at ftp://ftp.intellij.net/.uploads/ should contain IJ project files? I'm asking because I still don't see them there.

Denis

>> "So, is it expected that ccs_project.zip at ftp://ftp.intellij.net/.uploads/ should contain IJ project files? I'm asking because I still don't see them there."

well yes ... what do you call "project files" more precisely?
this is a complete copy of the files I use under the project directory  (I just forgot the .idea because it did not showed up when listing my project directory -oops!-)
at first level there are all the modules that are in the project and so on ....
I suppose zip has copied all the ".something" hidden directories ....(it is supposed to do it)

Yes, I was talking about '.idea' directory. Don't see it at the archive.

It's required because the problem seems to be related to the particular project setup, so, I need to examine it.

Denis

the .idea is in a separate zip "idea-lsst.zip"

Sorry but I was unable to reproduce the problem.

The project opens and target file is ok:


Denis

first thanks a lot for trying! Intellij Support is first class!
---> alas the problem is still there on my machine (A Mac OSX by the way) ....
  I downloaded latest version of IntelliJ idea just to get (may be) something different ... no way.
strange behaviour: when starting the editor shows exactly the same screeen  as yours for 10 seconds ... then it turns red and I can't compile
  I am stuck... will try harder to change things  (a plugin problem?)
thanks again

edit: the overall behaviour is starting to get erratical:
  I deleted all jars and .class
  then started to rebuild the project -> impossible
   direct commands by maven from the command line build the project correctly
then starting a test does not work (intelliJ failed to pass a correct argument to the classPath)
  rebooted completely the machine: same test command -> ok, classPath correct!!!!
but still stick by inability to have correct edit/compile .....  strange.....

You can try to disable third-party plugins and try pure IJ installation.

Denis

disabled ALL plugins ; restarted  -> same problem : the import is correct for 10 seconds then turns red.
reintroduced a limited list of plugins I need: subversion, maven, groovy, IDEAVIM

there is somewhere a gremlin in my machine ]:)

thanks

You can try to use the fresh config/system directory. Go to your $IJ_HOME/bin/idea.properties and define new paths for 'idea.config.path', 'idea.system.path', 'idea.plugins.path' properties.

Denis

>>>>> You can try to use the fresh config/system directory. Go to your  $IJ_HOME/bin/idea.properties and define new paths for  'idea.config.path', 'idea.system.path', 'idea.plugins.path' properties.
apparently this idea.properties does not exist in my app directory version 11 (but does exist in version 10) ... what do I do, use version 10? version 11? copy properties from 10 to 11 ?
thanks
edit: BTW: the corresponding $HOME/.IntellIJ10 directory does not exist ....

Oh, sorry, the info I provided is for Linux/Win users.

Feel free to check this document for Mac configs setup.

Denis

went to those directories on the MAC then moved the contents, started again -> ok for longer (20 seconds) then red again!
there is some task somewhere (late in idea startup ) that disables the correct configuration ... will try again

edit: found something strange that could be a lead:
in the jars directory there has been a double generation!

org-lsst-ccs-core-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.7cff2ca2
org-lsst-ccs-core-1.1.jar.9dd505dc

so :  is there  an error somewhere that dictates to generate 2 different versions of the same module
and that confuses everything ?
the version of core should be 1.2 SNAPSHOT
  so there may be other modules that ask for previous versions and that confuses the idea ...
    (may be a lead?)

edit2: destroying everything in the MAC directories -> then starting again: starts with red, then black ok , regenerates everything and just at the end red again!
   ther is a task that destroys configuration somewhere!

Can you please send me the idea.log file from your IDEA_SYSTEM_DIR/log directory?

attached Logs

NOTE: did a severe test on version 10: really removed everything in the directories (apparently I didn't do that exectly for version 11)
I had numerous problem for restarting version 10 (lost configuration) BUT now it did work!!!!
conclusion: so probably a focused removal of something will do the trick!

tried again to empty every configuration and run again -> nothing
except this: (see screen copy attached)
- if the project is opened wrongly (first window!) then the code are ok
- if the project is opened properly (second window) then the code are not ok

something in the .idea directory ?

What do you mean, "properly" and "wrongly"?
Do you mean you 've opened two projects at once?

>>

DOES WORK

I deleted the data in the .idea file
apparently the xml files describing the project were somewhat corrupted!
thanks a lot for your patience!!!!

this is long lived issues and in my 2018.1.1 i still have this issue open

I am developing Kotlin (for JVM), I dont know why we are choosing this, but with this we are restricted to intellij and cant use worlds best IDE eclipse, nevertheless  

Deleting .idea and .iml! do we think these are the right solution?  its a stupid workaround and wasting so much of time. 

I hope to go back to java+eclipse soon, enough of kotlin+idea...

Hi, @Qualityking. Unlikely that your issue is caused by the the same problem as was reported long time ago. Can you provide a sample project to check? Where do you have classes which are red-highlighted in imports? Are they from project libraries or from the project source code (some or different module)? What is your OS?

Hi, I am facing a similar issue on my mac with intellij. I am using java and intellij is not able to resolve imports from the same module.
