intellij-idea

IntelliJ has no highlighting, command click etc

I woke up this morning and my IntelliJ is suddenly behaving like a text editor:

  1. No highlighting of functions, variables etc.
  2. No CMD + Click mouse pointer changing to hand. If I press CMD and hover over a type, the mouse pointer doesn't change
  3. No unit test detection.

Nothing's working. How do I fix this! thanks

Solution

  • The solution was to disable the Shared Project Indexes Plugin.

    Preferences -> Plugins -> Shared Project Indexes (uncheck it) followed by a restart IDE.

    My guess is that another project I recently opened messed with the indexes.
