IntelliJ fails to sync changes in the target folder
intellij-idea, java, linux, maven, target
Solution
I have found this related question. It's issue was that the `target` folder was not visible at all.
I had to go to Settings -> Project Settings -> Maven -> Importing. Then uncheck `Exclude build directory`, reimport the module and it worked.
Still strange that in my case the folder was visible but not updateable.
Problem
Intellij 12.0.4 (build 123.169) on Linux Mint 13. When I run maven tests from command line, I can see the changed contents of the `target` folder in the file explorer, but not in IntelliJ. I have tried the `Synchronize` option from the context menu as well as the Ctrl+Alt+Y shortcut on different levels - subfolder, folder and module. I also cannot open the files using the Ctrl+Shift+N open/search. The idea.log looks unsuspicious: ``` 2013-04-01 08:51:07,808 [3911692] INFO - indexing.UnindexedFilesUpdater - Indexable files iterated in 26 ms 2013-04-01 08:51:07,808 [3911692] INFO - indexing.UnindexedFilesUpdater - Unindexed files update started: 0 files to update 2013-04-01 08:51:07,808 [3911692] INFO - indexing.UnindexedFilesUpdater - Unindexed files update done in 0 ms ``` Is there anything else I can do?
