    Feeling quite frustrated at the moment; I'm using IntelliJ 2025.1.2 and I can't get the 
    .idea
    folder to show up in the project files view. I can see it in Android Studio, if I open that instead, and even if I add a custom scope to the project it still won't show up in that custom scope. Does anyone know how to set this up? The new Kotlin Multiplatform plugin requires some .idea configuration to allow xcode run configurations to become visible, and it's very annoying needing to open the files externally to edit them.

    Copy code
    do {
    // some code here
    TODO()
} while (true) // warning for unreachable code with suggestion to replace with 'while()'. It is unreachable but in this case i think it should be ok

    I have a positive message. I'm happy to see that type-aware completion (i.e. the feature that is bound to control-shift-space by default) has finally been implemented in the latest EAP. Now, I have a question for everybody: During the time when it wasn't available, I was quite frustrated and stayed on K1 for quite a while because of it. When talking to JB about it, I learned that they implemented features based on their statistics, and implemented features that was used a lot first. That makes sense, but it seems weird to me that type-aware-completion was only used by a single-digit-percent of users. If people are not using it, then what do they use?

    It seems I can't debug a 
    .main.kts
    script in IntelliJ IDEA ... it runs, but no breakpoints ever trigger anything. Is that a known limitation? (2025.2 EAP with K2)

    Anyone knows if there's a way to monitor arbitrary logs in IJ? I know this exists, but I'm outside the context of a running configuration.

    Getting these sorts of erroneous type errors all over a mixed Java/Kotlin module. (required type: T provided: T 🙃) Compiles fine however. Build #IU-251.26927.53 - ❗*Only occurs when K2 is enabled* ❗- known issue?

    I have a kotlin js project that builds fine using gradlew clean build. But in IntelliJ, the dependencies are not resolved, so I get for example "Unresolved reference: react" Can anybody give a hint what might be wrong? Tried already invalidate cache and restart, unlink / relink project, refresh gradle dependencies, delete .gradle and .idea folders Does not happen with IntelliJ 2024. Maybe our KotlinJS project is too old and no longer compatible with new intellij versions :(

    What's the status with 
    main.kts
    and K2? I just had to disable K2 again to get autocomplete 🤔 on 
    IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2 EAP
    . Am I missing something? Can you do 
    main.kts
    with K2?

    I really enjoy being able to write 
    .kts
    scripts instead of `.sh`; keeping more complex scripts in a powerful, familiar language. Unfortunately the usefulness of 
    kts
    is unduly limited by IntelliJ IDE's failure to resolve symbols across 
    @file:Import
    dependencies - meanwhile the scripts still run fine. This problem has only become more impactful with junie Junie; as the agent sees 'unresolved' false positives and erroneously act upon them, struggling for a fix that never comes. kodee sad This limitation is very sad, given it's been hanging for over 2 years... KTIJ-16352 Scripts / IDE: unresolved reference when trying to import file in main.kts scripts with @Import annotation Any insights into this issue in or outside of JB? Is scripting just abandoned beyond what's needed for Gradle? Such a shame, it's a killer feature in my book. Slack Conversation

    Is context-sensitive resolution supported by the IDE yet? I added 
    -Xcontext-sensitive-resolution
    to my compiler args but the IDE still highlights code red where I use it

    Is there any table which Kotlin version is used by the Kotlin IntelliJ plugin? I want to use kotlin.k2.only.bundled.compiler.plugins.enabled=false but I needed to migrate to the 2.2.0 FIR api (using context parameters in the FIR checkers), but IntelliJ does not use the new api yet, so my checker does not work.

    A question about `org.jetbrains.kotlin.idea.base.facet`: To detect a test module in an IDE plugin with Kotlin/JVM and Kotlin Multiplatform, I'm using the following:
    Copy code
    private fun com.intellij.openapi.module.Module.isJvmOrMultiplatformTestModule() =
    isTestModule || (!isMultiPlatformModule && name.endsWith(".test"))
    However, relying on the module name seems hacky. Is there a better option?

    Hi all, when running test in Intellij, in dropdown 
    Run Tasks for $testName
    list where i can select targets, i only see android and ios option and no browser related option. Is it not supported or i am missing some configuration ? My browser tests do run in chromium when doing gradle build.

    Is there a way to improve time for refactoring related to data classes like rename field? Looking for usages takes ages, I even not sure if it is in loop since I see similar search scopes.

    I would like to copy code to the clipboard from a web app and then paste it into IntelliJ. Would it be possible to add the import information to the code somehow so IntelliJ automatically adds the imports as well?

    Hello! I would like to not use wildcard import. So in my .editorconfig, I put these lines:
    Copy code
    ij_kotlin_name_count_to_use_star_import = 99
ij_kotlin_name_count_to_use_star_import_for_members = 99
    But intellij seems to ignore them and continue to import with wildcard. If I change directly in Intellij Setting, it works, but I would like to harmonise for all of my team. Is there a way to say to intellij: don't use wildcard (based on editorconfig)?

    not sure if this is the correct channel, but looking at https://linuxiac.com/malware-discovered-in-arch-linux-aur-packages/ I've asked arch maintainers and they confirmed that due to licensing preventing redistribution, they can't ship Intellij Ultimate in an official repository; would it be possible for Jetbrains to change this tiny bit so it could be included in the official repos across most Linux distros?

    Hmm...
    Copy code
    infix fun @receiver:Language("RegExp") String.mapsTo(other: String): Pair<Regex, String> = TODO()

fun main() {
  "/(?<>[^/]+)" mapsTo "bar" // left hand side does not get regexp highlighting - it should, shouldn't it?
}

    Is there a way to turn off these types of suggestions? I only want to receive suggestions for properties that actually exist. I don't need IntelliJ suggesting potential dependencies that could be passed as constructor arguments.

    I'm having a mismatch between Kotlin and IntelliJ I'm getting this warning when compiling:
    Copy code
    Smart cast to 'ImageData' is impossible, because 'selectedIcon' is a property that has an open or custom getter.
    But Intellij says:
    Copy code
    Unnecessary non-null assertion (!!) on a non-null receiver of type 'ImageData'.
    I understand that it's IntelliJ that is reporting it incorrectly. So how can I fix my IntelliJ, so it does not suggest to remove the 
    !!
    ?

    Is there any warning/smart hint if a function call unnecessarily specifies a parameter with the same default value?
    Copy code
    fun foo(s: Int = 0)
foo(s = 0) // s is unnecessary

    for fun, I an trying to use IntelliJ just using the keyboard and not touching the mouse… 😄 and when trying to switch within the 
    Run
    pane, the tab key doesn’t let me switch to the right section 👀 should I expect this fixed in the next version? 🫣
