IDEA 2022.1.1 freeze (on wsl2(ubuntu))

Can you please collect additional information for the investigation?

• Disable all third party plug-ins.
• Quit the IDE.
• Remove the logs folder.
• Launch the IDE and reproduce the problem.
• Collect diagnostic data. (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data)

The files can be uploaded at https://uploads.jetbrains.com (do not forget to specify the UploadID)

I upload idea.log.

This log contains Starting IDEA so do not contains import gradle process.

Could you upload the entire logs folder (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data), not only the idea.log file so that I can check the freeze dumps?

I upload idea.log.

Please specify the uploadID in the thread after uploading.

This log contains gradle problems.

Thank you!

Please disable or exclude WSL interface and IDE form antivirus/firewall scan. Try with antivirus/firewall disabled or make sure that IDE settings directories IDE installation home and project files are excluded from the scan. Please see also https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/how-to-use-wsl-development-environment-in-product.html#debugging_system_settings

If the problem remains, please try disabling Kotlin plugin and report if it helps.

If the problem still remains with Kotlin plugin disabled, please remove the logs folder, restart the IDE and attach IDE logs right after IDE freezes (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data action)

Not sure whether it helped topicstarter, but for me, seeing the exact symptoms:

• fresh IDEA installation
• WSL2, Ubuntu
• Gradle-based project
• IDEA just hangs on "gradle build" background task with no visible output

disabling bundled Kotlin plugin helped.

Just disable Windows Defender real time protection. Nothing else work, no exclusion folders doesn't work also.

This solution works, but my work laptop cannot disable the real-time protection for security policies. 😥

Aren't there any other workarounds?

I think if you install other antivirus .. Avast etc.. it will disable windows defender... and EVERYTHING is better then what Microsoft created I guess :D 

Sadly, the AV choice is not mine 😓

Sadly I dont think you have many options

1) ask for AV replacement

2) ask for the operating system for grownups like Linux or Mac in some very bad alternative reality for grownups :) 

3) leave your company since they doesn't allow you to do your job.

I do not think IntelliJ will have a fix soon, the only way to fix is to not use the network drive / windows absurd communication to read the content in WSL2.. instead to do something like vscode is doing.. to start a linux process in the WSL2 that maybe opens a SocketServer and to make their IDE to use this SocketServer to read the file content from inside the WSL2 by this skipping all windows mambo jambo. However, this sounds like a huge task and I don't expect it to happen soon (if at all).
