I often see that some of the ReSharper functionality just doesn't work until you restart VS and reopen the project. But this situation I have now is consistent across restarts. So I am using a Go To Everything fuctionality often. It is enabled in ReSharper settings.
But since yesterday Go To Everything (Ctrl + N for me) can't find most of the files in the project (though it can find some).
Here is a screenshot of the problem:
I have that file open in editor just to prove that it's there. I show it found in an open solution in file tree. But ReSharper doesn't seem to be able to find it.
What to I do to troubleshoot. Thanks you in advance.
The best thing to do here is to raise an issue with JetBrains. Either log a bug with the issue tracker, or email resharper-support#jetbrains.com. Include details about what version of ReSharper you're using, what type of projects you're using, version of Visual Studio, etc.
However, from that screenshot, it looks like ReSharper isn't configured to analyse that file - there's no "green tick" in the scrollbar. Is ReSharper disabled? Is that file excluded from analysis? (Mind you, even when it's excluded, it should still show up in go to results. Something odd is happening here, support should be able to help better than StackOverflow)
I am working on a parser, using the parser generator ANTLR in Visual Studio. Naturally, ANTLR is continually regenerating certain files. Every single time it does this, VS has a popup saying:
The file has been modified outside of the source editor.
Do you want to reload it?
The answer I want is always Yes to All.
Is there any way to tell Visual Studioto always assume I want to reload auto-generated files, without prompting?
Click Tools then options then under the environment node on the left choose documents then check the box that says Auto-load changes, if saved:
If you are using Visual Studio's internal editor and you know that nobody else is editing the file, you might be wondering why that happens. In my case, I realized I was working on a continuously backed-up network folder, that's why the file got re-saved every time I made a change on it and saved. So, if you can move your file to a local, not-backed-up folder, that might also solve this problem.
I installed android studio.. it was working fine. Now all the sudden, none of the auto complete features are working.. I can type anything anywhere no variable checking, no help with functions or checking anything. I can still compile the project and I get errors when that happens.
Can anyone please help me out with this issue.
#1 From Build menu (of your Android Studio), click Rebuild Project option.
#2 Then once rebuild completes, go to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... and Click on Invalidate an Restart button.
This really works for me.

#1 Rebuild is required, because Android-Studio does simply rely solely on Gradle's build-result (without static-analysis support, at least at time of writing, 2022).
#2 Clearing cache is required, because the previous build-result (before above rebuild) may be indexed, which makes Android Studio ignore latest Gradle build-result
(this is a very good speed optimization, but a very bad Developer-experience as well).
There can sometimes be other reasons too, which is why there are many other answers posted here.
You can also check if Power Save Mode on File menu is disabled.
Close Android Studio
Go to C:\Users\UserName\.android and rename the folder:
build-cache to build-cache_old
Go to C:\Users\UserName\.AndroidStudio3.x\system
OR (for Android studio 4 and Higher) go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.x
and rename these folders:
caches to caches_old
compiler to compiler_old
compile-server to compile-server_old
conversion to conversion_old
external_build_system to external_build_system_old
frameworks to frameworks_old
gradle to gradle_old
resource_folder_cache to resource_folder_cache_old
Open Android Studio and open your project again.
Originally use:
compileSdkVersion 32
targetSdkVersion 32
And an update to 33 appeared, I updated it and the suggestions in the XML no longer appeared, I went back to 32 and now the suggestions appeared.
Close Android Studio
Go to c_users_path_on_windows/.AndroidStudio3.5/system/
Delete the cache folder
Start Android Studio
This works for me.
Most of the times i have seen that the problem is that Power Save Mode is enabled, to disable go to Current inspection profile (lower right corner in Android Studio).
I have not run into this problem personally, but try checking the following settings (File -> Settings or Alt+F7):
Project Settings [name]
Inspections - ensure that Android and Android Lint is checked, or alternately just set it back to default using the dropdown box at the top.
IDE Settings
Editor -> Code Completion - ensure the Autopopup code completion is checked (and check the rest of the settings based on your preference.
Uncheck "Power Save Mode" in "File" tab
If nothing works (like happened with me ) go to your user profile in windows at %userprofile% . You will find folders there (hidden) named with the version of the android studio you are using and prefixed with a dot.
like .AndroidStudio3.1. Just delete that .
Solution: Try disabling "File -> Power Save Mode" in Android Studio (Beta) 0.8.14 - Mac OS X
On windows, the option can be at some other place.
I had the same problem then I recalled that while exploring the new android studio, I switched on the "File -> Power Save Mode" to see what it does?
I disabled the power save mode and all those intelligent features were back.
It turned out that in Power Save Mode, Android Studio switches off the modules responsible for features like Smart Code Completion and Code Analysis.
I had a similar problem where none of the other solutions worked.
Closing Android Studio and then deleting the .idea and build folders resolved the issue.
Disable Power Save Mode and Invalidate Cache and Restart.
For Artic Fox 2020|3.1 Version: Auto Complete Suggestion Problem.
Please Follow the Following Steps:
Close Android Studio
Locate caches folder in C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3
and Delete it.
Open Android Studio Again.
Check your Android studio version and Target that version folder at below location
C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Google
Note : AppData folder is Hidden in Windows
This Solution also works if android studio mess up with xml files and java code. Don't! modify your code otherwise IDE won't able to change it to default. If you see such messy code just follow above steps and your code will be fine again.
It's Working
Disable Power Save Mode
Untick Power Save Mode Option ::
File -> Power Save Mode
There is a power saver mode in android studio if accidentally you click on that it will disable code analysis which will reduce the battery consumption and performance will also increase but it will not detect any errors and do auto complete operations.
To disable power saver mode
- Go to File Menu of Studio
- Uncheck The Power Saver Mode
In your IDE code analysis will be shown using an eye symbol at the right corner of your android studio.
If Green means it is enabled and there is no error in your code.
If Red Means It is enabled but there are few errors in your code.
If It is white or blur then code analysis is disabled
Just remove all the folders named AndroidStudioPreview
On Windows:
Go to your User Folder - on Windows 7/8 this would be:
[SYSDRIVE]:\Users[your username] (ex. C:\Users\JohnDoe)
In this folder there should be a folder called .AndroidStudioPreview
On Mac OS X
Remove these files:
~/Library/Application Support/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudioPreview
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudioPreview
There can be several things which cause this.
Make sure you've write the correct version in targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion.
Make sure targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion are same.
Other solutions can be:
Invalidate caches & restart Android Studio from File → Invalidate Caches / Restarts...
Clean your project from Build → Clean Project
Rebuild project from Build → Rebuild Project
Make project from Build → Make Project [this process may take some time]
Be sure to check for IDE errors by clicking the button at the bottom right of android studio.
In my case, there was a bad plugin, and the IDE Fatal Errors window prompted me to uninstall the plugin. (I wish I'd known about this feature before spending half a day invalidating caches, deleting folders, and reinstalling android studio with no luck.)
It worked for me.
From menu select:
File -> Power Save Mode
and make sure it's disabled
Go TO Left Side Top File Option
Then Click To Power Save Mode
Disable Power Save Mode That Fix This Issue
In my case, when I switch keyboard language to English, the auto complete works again.
if the autocomplete isn't working for you in Android Studio, just press File and uncheck the Power save mode, it should work fine after that.
if power save mode is already unchecked then first check then uncheck them.
If you have a library project included, make sure the library has the dependencies in build.gradle listed using the api configuration, not the implementation configuration.
Also make sure that the project that includes the library has all the dependencies listed (using the implementation configuration is fine here).
'The file size (2561270 bytes) exceeds configured limit (2560000 bytes). Code insight features are not available.'
Had this issue for days with none of these proposed solutions working before eventually getting this message in yellow under the tabs after adding a line of code. Removing the line of code eliminated the message but not the issue. There appears to be a code size window where you lose insight features but don't get this message, at least for me. Once you go over a certain point the message finally pops up. The suggested solution in a different thread for this issue was to edit 'Help/Edit Custom Properties' to increase the configured limit, but just opening this brought up a dialogue asking if I wanted to create an 'idea.properties' folder so I decided not to risk that approach over eventually cutting the file size.
If sometimes this problem can occur if you misspelled a file extension or make a file without adding an extension.
Check you have added the file extension correctly.
I think that answer may help you.
I'm using mac and suddenly the code completion (^space) not working. There are no errors. Turned out the android studio's shortcut was conflicted with system's shortcut. I don't know why it suddenly happen because it was fine before, maybe there was an update on my Mac.
See below setting for the conflicting shortcut
In my case, C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3\ just delete caches folder and restart android studio. after deleting this caches folder my problem was solved :)
I encounter with this problem while adding a kotlin library into my project on mac. Changing macbook language to english solved this problem. I also had some weird problems with auto-generated databinding codes, those are also solved.
Try Invalidate caches/Restart from File in Menu Bar from android studio.
Close Android Studio
Go to
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\.android
and rename the following folder to:
build-cache to build-cache_old
then Go to (Android studio lower then version 4)
C:\Users\UserName.AndroidStudio3.x\system
OR (Android studio 4 and Higher) Go to
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio4.x
or
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2021.2
depending on your version and rename these folders:
caches to caches_old
compiler to compiler_old
compile-server to compile-server_old
conversion to conversion_old
external_build_system to external_build_system_old
frameworks to frameworks_old
gradle to gradle_old (if exists)
resource_folder_cache to resource_folder_cache_old (if exists)
Open Android Studio again and the autosuggsion will be fixed.
and You can also check if Power Save Mode is disabled or not from the File menu.
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Pro for windows software development. Earlier I used to use VS 2008.
One option that I couldn't find (which was there in older version) is :
Before building -
-Do not save any changes
-Save all changes
-Prompt to save changes
The above was available in Tools->Options->Build & Run in older versions.
At times when I make temp changes in my code which I don't want to save it then that feature comes in handy.
Is there any way I can stop VS 2012 from saving my code before I build/run it.
Thank you,
Cheers,
GR
That feature was dropped in Visual Studio 2010. As far as I know it hasn't resurfaced in Visual Studio 2012.
Save All Files Before Build Gone in Visual Studio 2012?
The IDE prompts for saving on unsaved code or resources when you close the project.
With GIT or other source control you can run on command to save versions.
I actually like the program "Second Copy" which you can set up to save versions of your code (I save the last 15 versions of any changed file in the project). This is set up to run whenever a file changes, but you would not want it to save a new version every time you make a change while testing/debugging, preferring to only back up to the new version every time the file is SAVED either manually using the mouse/Shortcut keys or upon close of the IDE. That way you have true backup of code you are satisfied with.
I think having autosave is dangerous because it overworks the source control if you have one in place (either GIT or Second Copy or whatever) and if you don't you lose the ability to go back to a prior version should you stuff up the code or decide not to proceed with changes. Having the option, though, to have autosave (either at intervals or on "Run"/"Build") should still be there to please all users (but the default should be "off")
Of course on "Publish" all files are saved anyway (as they should be).
Give "Second Copy" consideration...http://www.secondcopy.com/ (I have no association with second copy, I have just used it for years and love it)
When MonoDevelop crashes (somewhat often unfortunately) I usually have to re-do changes to the project that seem to not be written to disk. As a result my work flow has become - change project, restart monodevelop (hoping changes are saved during a close). I find this to be a little frustrating. Ideally there would be an explicit save button in the UI so that I know for a fact my changes are written when I expected them to be. I am not sure where to file enhancements requests - through Xamarin (since this is monodevelop with monotouch)? Any chance someone has written an Add-In to do this?
If everything is OK with your MD installation the Save All command/button should save all the project files and solution. I regularly use this command as a safeguard. On my experience just hitting Save only saves the file you are editing on the moment, keeping the solution and project files unsaved.
