Bug: Can't refresh the directory content
Sometimes, the IDE refuses to update the contents of the folders.
I tried to perform the action "Synchronize" on the folder, it does not work.
Relaunching the software will display the correct content again, but the problem ends up reappearing after a few hours

Hi there,
Check your idea.log for any related notices (Help | Show Log in XXX).
Using "Synchronize" should normally do the job though...

From what I see that's a shutdown sequence.
Do you have any exceptions/warnings related to the subject?
No better idea from me right now.
I tried the sync after the first line :
2018-07-19 11:25:06,493 [8632936] INFO - #git4idea.commands.GitHandler - Done
No warning or error...
Just to confirm - this folder is a straight local drive, not a symlink, not a mounted network or any other share, right?
If so, the only thing I can think of is some weird indexes corruption. Please check if the issue happens again after you run through caches invalidation (File | Invalidate Caches / Restart).
yes, local drive, not a symlink. After a restart, it work again
I meant invalidating caches specifically, just to exclude this possible cause.
This bug still exists. It drives me crazy :).
same here super annoying
Hey Folks,
There could be different root causes for this issue and no single solution is available, so I would recommend submitting a YouTrack report with logs so developers could take a closer look:
