Intellij Synchronizing output directories ..

Question

I am trying to build a project, run it in debug mode and i keep getting "Synchronizing output directories" in Intellij. It takes around 5-10 minutes for an actual build. The project is almost empty and is stored on local drive. I tried to invalidate the catche but has not worked. Out of ideas .. anyone had any similar issues?

Answer 1

Most likely, some of your data is on a network drive or in your profile which is being synchronized with a network drive.

If you are on windows, try moving your .IdeaXXX/system directory and your work directory to somewhere else on your C: drive.
