I am trying to work on a large Javascript file in Jetbrains WebStorm 8 and I am getting a message at the top of the editing window that says:
File size exceeds configured limit (2560000). Code insight features not available.
How can I increase the 'configured limit' to get access to all features?
In IntelliJ 2016 and newer you can change this setting from the Help menu, Edit Custom Properties (as commented by @eggplantbr).
On older versions, there's no GUI to do it. But you can change it if you edit the IntelliJ IDEA Platform Properties file:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Maximum file size (kilobytes) IDE should provide code assistance for.
# The larger file is the slower its editor works and higher overall system memory requirements are
# if code assistance is enabled. Remove this property or set to very large number if you need
# code assistance for any files available regardless their size.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=2500
This is built from Álvaro González's answer and How to increase IDE memory limit in IntelliJ IDEA on Mac?
Go to Help > Edit Custom Properties
Add:
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=999999
Restart the IDE.
Edit config file for IDEA: IDEA_HOME/bin/idea.properties
# Maximum file size (kilobytes) IDE should provide code assistance for.
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=60000
# Maximum file size (kilobytes) IDE is able to open.
idea.max.content.load.filesize=60000
Save and restart IDEA
Instructions for changing this settings in latest Jetbrains products
Editing product64.vmoptions didnt worked for me, but editing idea.properties worked ok.
Also in order to be able to work with large files you may need to change values for in product64.vmoptions / product.vmoptions for -Xms and
-Xmx
To clarify Alvaro's answer, you need to add the -D option to the list of command lines. I'm using PyCharm, but the concept is the same:
pycharm{64,.exe,64.exe}.vmoptions:
<code>
-server
-Xms128m
...
-Didea.max.intellisense.filesize=999999 # <--- new line
</code>
For those who don't know where to find the file they're talking about. On my machine (OSX) it is in:
- PyCharm CE:
/Applications/PyCharm CE.app/Contents/bin/idea.properties
- WebStorm:
/Applications/WebStorm.app/Contents/bin/idea.properties
Changing the above options form Help menu didn't work for me.
You have edit idea.properties file and change to some large no.
MAC: /Applications/<Android studio>.app/Contents/bin[Open App contents]
Idea.max.intellisense.filesize=999999
WINDOWS: IDE_HOME\bin\idea.properties
