This is mainly for autocompletion if I recall correctly. E.g. when you use gradle or maven and you want a library, IntelliJ can help you by autocompleting the proper library.
I just disable this completely since it’s harmless and doesn’t add anything particularly useful.
Thanks, good to know that it is not just my setup at least. I saw Tony Kay use this autocomplete in one of his many great videos on Fulcro, so I was hoping to do the same as part of upping my IntelliJ/Cursive skills.
You can just follow the instruction in the popup and update it manually. I used to use it for a bit, but found it not really useful because it might find a bunch of libraries with the same name, so I’d still have to go and double check the author anyway.
@rextruong Maybe I wasn’t clear enough, but the “I scan indexes and everything looks good” is that manual step. I’ve manually transitioned them from “never” (indexed) to current time several times, but a restart clears it, triggering the popup once again on the next start. So, IntelliJ has a severe case of amnesia it seems 🙂
