And then I followed these few steps in the "package into jar" section:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/compiling-applications.html#package_into_jar

#

And when I go to Build -> Build artifacts -> choose JAR, it doesnt do anything, no error, nothing, as if it just didnt work.

#

hm

late flame May 21, 2023, 9:09 AM

#

Working Fine

#

#

#

there is very high chance that your intellj have problem

#

like some missing files

late flame May 21, 2023, 9:12 AM

#

Yea, I believe so. I am 99,9999% sure if I deleted my intellij (all of the data as well, not just the installation), it would work.

#

But I dunno if I wanna do that 😄

#

Okay, I am trying to uninstall / install it again, without removing data first.

wheat notch May 21, 2023, 9:13 AM

#

Huh

#

no

late flame May 21, 2023, 9:13 AM

#

What?

wheat notch May 21, 2023, 9:13 AM

#

yes

#

Without removing data

late flame May 21, 2023, 9:13 AM

#

But I think the issue is somewhere in the intellij settings..

#

not the installation itself.

wheat notch May 21, 2023, 9:13 AM

#

Maybe You Could rest the settings by reintell it

copper warren May 21, 2023, 9:14 AM

#

You can try some less drastic measures first: File -> Repair IDE and File -> Invalidate Caches

wheat notch May 21, 2023, 9:16 AM

:0 Don't get this idea lol

late flame May 21, 2023, 9:18 AM

#

Didnt help. I am gonna backup intellij configuration/data and try to completely reset the settings and see what happens.

wheat notch May 21, 2023, 9:18 AM

#

Ok then!

late flame May 21, 2023, 9:20 AM

#

#

this is f- crazy

#

copper warren May 21, 2023, 9:21 AM

#

have you tried building your project beforehand. Does that work ?

late flame May 21, 2023, 9:21 AM

#

Yea I built the project before, didnt help.

copper warren May 21, 2023, 9:21 AM

#

IntelliJ did actually something, an out directory was produced containing the class files ?

late flame May 21, 2023, 9:22 AM

#

copper warren May 21, 2023, 9:27 AM

#
