I'm using IntelliJ IDEA Community 2017.
The problem: After a Gradle build, I do not get a messages window that I can use to view all problems across the project. It is clear that the build failed because the run window shows a red exclamation point. Running ./gradlew build
from the terminal also fails. The issue is that IntelliJ is not interpreting/parsing the errors in way that shows up in the IDE.
I've read the most popular posts here on Stack Overflow about IntelliJ not showing compilation errors, but they do not apply to my situation. Many are at least several years old -- they may not apply to recent versions of IDEA, Scala, and Gradle.
The closest match is Intellij Idea not showing errors in Message Tool Window after Gradle build:
"In the top right corner of the "Run" window there is an odd looking button that when you mouse over is labeled "Toggle tasks executions/text mode."
However, that not directly address my concern, since it does not restore the functionality I was used to seeing in IntelliJ 2016. That is why I added this comment to the answer suggested above:
Thanks -- your suggestion helps because it shows the command line error output. However, it doesn't show the error listing that I was used to seeing in IntelliJ 2016. Now that I'm using Gradle 3.4 and IntelliJ IDEA Community 2017.1, I don't have a nice way to browse all project-wide compilation errors.
Any suggestions for workarounds or solutions?
My best guess at this point is that something changed in IntelliJ 2017.1. It was working in IntelliJ 2016.
