How to prevent indexing the vendor folder Follow
Hi,
I'm working on a PrestaShop project and I want to prevent indexing the vendor folder
The first thing that I tried was to exclude the vendor folder
But it was still being indexed
I searched the settings related to PHP and Composer but with no luck
I also checked similar threads (about node_modules) but didn't get a hint on how to solve this
Please advise
Thank you

Hi there,
Please check "PHP | Include Paths". Libraries added this way will still be indexed even if excluded via "Directories".
P.S. By default all stuff from composer will be added as Include Paths entries (External Libraries). This behaviour can be disabled so you can have full control.
P.P.S. Please note that if you completely exclude your vendor content then you will have NO code completion for classes & functions from those folders.
Thank you for the valuable information
Best regards
Woah! Andriy, thank you! This has been driving me bonkers for years! You have no idea how many times I have tried to exclude vendor and just really didn't understand why it was still indexed. Now this all makes sense and realize I don't want it excluded.
UX: I think Intellij should not let a user mark a directory as excluded if it is an include path. The context menu should say something like "exclusion disabled because it is an include path" or something to indicate that the exclusion is non-active.
Until then, so happy to have this sanity back! Thanks

Andriyn you said:

How?

And?..
P.S. Unticking that option does not do anything. I mean: it will NOT undo the changes that IDE does when it's enabled.
Disabling that option simply tells IDE to not to add newly detected composer-included packages as libraries (which marks folder as Excluded and then adds it back as PHP Include Path entry).
You have to manually remove any unwanted entries from the PHP Include Paths.
