External Libraries do not update when changing Spring Boot Gradle plugin version

Please share a sample project, either via GitHub link or via https://uploads.jetbrains.com. Also provide the logs: Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data.

Hi Serge Baranov
I guess it's because we're Friday night:

• Collecting Logs and Diagnostics Data don't do anything visible
• Creating a Java sample projet of Gradle type does not create typical directories tree

Even after invalidating the cache and restart, there is no improvement.

On WSL2 console, one can see:

I will go back on this on Monday

See https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241085 if automatic logs collection doesn't work.

Your IDE installation is likely corrupted, the following steps should help: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007568559.

OK, it looks like I will have to reinstall IntelliJ before moving forward on this issue.
Thanks, I'll keep you posted

If the issue persists, idea.log would contain more details about the problem. Please share it via https://uploads.jetbrains.com.

I reinstalled the last version of IntelliJ (idea-IU-211.7628.21) on my WSL distribution yesterday, in a brand new directory. The old one has been removed, I didn't know if I should do something else a have a fresh install.
Unfortunately, the problems are still there:

1. External dependencies shown by IntelliJ on my Gradle project are stucked to the version before the update of the build script;
2. With a new Gradle projet, no src folder with main and test subdirectories is created
3. I cannot collect logs via the IDE, I guess it's a display/X11 issue related to the use of WSL2

I uploaded the logs - Upload id: 2021_07_13_TdUYW1ji8RdmfgeG (file: idea.log) - I hope this will help

Project creation seems to be fine with a Maven project

I see exceptions similar to ones in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-248273 issue. Also some exceptions from Scala plugin.

Can you please try with Scala plugin disabled and/or re-import project and recreate its configuration (delete existing .idea directory and open it via File | New | Project from Existing Sources action).

Do I understand correctly that the project can be built by Gradle from command line successfully?

If problem remains could you attach fresh idea.log file after reproducing this scenario:

>With a new Gradle projet, no src folder with main and test subdirectories is created

Thanks.

Hello Andrey Dernov
That was an excellent suggestion! I disabled the Scala plugin, then deleted both .idea directory and .iml file and after I recreated all the project from the existing sources. It worked. I have now the right Spring Boot dependencies in the « External Libraries » section of the project. Great!
The scenario regarding the new Gradle project creation was independant from the first (I discovered it when trying to create a sample for Serge). It seemed to be related because src folder is created now.
I uploaded a fresh idea.log (Upload ID: 2021_07_13_PsM8MSxMd4S3JSbX) so you can look at it and show what is different.

Many thanks to you guys at JetBrains for taking time with my question

Thanks for the information. No exceptions from Gradle import now. I guess that was the main cause of the problems with import.
