Repair IDE

1. In the main menu, go to File | Cache Recovery | Repair IDE. GoLand will automatically launch the first recovery step and refresh the virtual file system.

   GoLand will display a notification that you can use to continue or complete the recovery process. If everything works correctly, click Everything Works Now to complete the recovery process. You can do this after any step of the recovery process.

2. To continue the recovery process, click Rescan Project Indexes. GoLand will find all files in your project that aren't indexed and index them.

   

3. To move to the next recovery step, click Reopen Project. This will reopen your project without restarting GoLand.

   

4. To move to the next recovery step, click Drop Shared Indexes. This will remove all shared indexes related to your project.

   

5. To move to the last recovery step, click Reindex Project. GoLand will examine your project code to rebuild an index of classes, methods, objects, and other code elements that make up your application.

   

6. After going through all the recovery steps, if the issue persists, you can continue with cache invalidation. Click the More link and select Invalidate Caches and Restart.

   

   note

   Cache invalidation removes cache files for all projects ever run in the current version of the IDE.

You can launch the first two steps of the recovery process on a single file in your project.

• In the Project tool window Alt01, right-click the file you want to fix and select Cache Recovery | Repair IDE on File.

  

Instead of deleting the entire project directory when you encounter problems related to the incorrect synchronization of a Gradle or Maven project, you can invalidate the build system cache and re-sync your project.

• From the main menu, select File | Cache Recovery | Invalidate Build System Caches and Re-sync.

  GoLand closes and reopens the project. It also syncs the project again. During this process, the cache-state.xml file is updated.
