Total re-index after crash
Answered
IDE consumes a lot of time after crash (force-quit) - it starts full reindexing of all dependencies of (java) project! That behaviour does not seem reasonable to me at all. If it crashed - it must only restore what was really corrupted, yet it re-indexes ALL, consuming a lot of time and resources. Is there any way to prevent such offensive behaviour?

Hi Denis - we are working on improving the IDE's behavior with regards to indexing in various scenarios.
Could you please reproduce the issue and attach the logs generated with Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostics Data?
One way to test this is under elementaryOS 6, start a lot of memory consuming applications like multiple React frontends served by node servers, Postman, Slack alongside IntelliJ with multiple Spring Boot Servers running from IntelliJ
At some point, elementaryOS will start killing processes. When it kills IntelliJ, then after manually starting IntelliJ again, it starts reindexing the whole project which takes sooo much time
To investigate the mentioned issue please collect log files (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostics Data) and capture CPU snapshot as described here: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241235-Reporting-performance-problems#h_dc106c85-2e12-4b67-b530-90deaaa4eb7c
Please upload collected diagnostic data here https://uploads.jetbrains.com/
Or you can create an issue on our issue tracker and attach diagnostic data to the issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA
Thank you.
I don't see why this would be necessery. The problem here is not that the indexing takes some time, the problem is that I don't see why any indexing is needed at all after a restart. This looks like a conceptual problem with the way IntelliK determines when to index
Normally indexing is not triggered on every restart. To find the root cause of this I would need log files.
I can confirm this happens with RubyMine on macOS every time when the IDE is force quit. Doesn't happen if you exit the app the normal way. Uploaded the logs, 2021_12_02_D5sbeshejpARgvV1 is the upload ID.
@... Thank you for sharing logs, as I can see your build is: #RM-212.5080.58, 24 Aug 2021. Please try updating to the latest version, this issue was fixed.
@... Thanks for pointing that out to me, upgraded.
Oh, we have 2023 and the problem is still there. It time I have to quit not responsive InteliJ it goes and indexes everything :(
Herrlado would it be possible to file an issue on our issue tracker and attach logs to it?
Yes Sure, which kind of logs would you like? Or at which point should I collect the logs, as it starts the reindexing after crash?
Herrlado just grab the entire log directory, I will check everything. Thank you
new issue or https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-271911/IDEA-is-re-indexing-everything-after-system-crash upload here?
Herrlado new issue is better, thank you, I will reply in the issue. Or feel free to add log files to the one you have mentioned, I will do the rest
