Question

I can’t seem to get ‘Reformat Code’ to work on my mac version of Intellij. I’m using a 30 day trial.

Update & Clarification;

It doesn’t do anything, there is no reformatting done at all.

Thanks

Answer 1

Turns out I had an issue

I had a directory structure which contained ‘Source’ such as

/my/Path/To/**Source**/My/web/Project/Source/ 

This confused Intellij, which prevented it from reading my directory structure correctly. Because of this, my real ‘source’ directory wasn’t identified. Without my *.java files stored within a defined ‘source’ directory, Intellij didn’t know how to format my files. I had incorrectly assumed that Intellij would know simply by the file extension.
