PhpStorm starts indexing files every time it starts.

I'm not sure if this is the desired behavior, but PhpStorm (8.0.3) continues to index all files and directories every time I open the IDE. Indexing takes too much time - half an hour or more. During this time, I can’t access many configuration options or use the "Go to Definition" option.

This is very annoying. Should PhpStorm somehow cache indexes so that it doesn't go through the whole process over and over again?

It seems that the problem has grown over time, and at this time it completely paralyzes my ability to work on projects.

Is there a solution you know about?

Is this problem still relevant? This is more than a year after the question, so it can be fixed already.

There is no reliable way to tell why this happens without looking at the magazines.

You can try the following:

  • Close IDE (or at least this project)
  • Backing up and deleting the .idea subfolder (settings for this project)
  • Launch the IDE and use "Open" in the root of the project. The IDE will create a new project from these files.
  • Reconfigure your project if necessary
  • Restart the IDE / close-reopen project (do what you did in the past when it led to reindexing the project).
  • Is it better now?
  • If so, and you have not yet re-configured ALL aspects of the project, then you can reuse some of the files earlier (while the IDE / project is closed, of course)

I had the same problem after searching, I realized that the .gitignore plugin called it.

After disabling the mentioned plugin, ide will return again for proper operation.
