Intellij: "Sync failed" when importing project

[andyphilipp]

This occurs when trying to import a bazel project.

This is displayed in the bazel console:

Syncing project...

Command:  info --tool_tag=ijwb:IDEA:community --curses=no --color=no --noexperimental_ui --noprogress_in_terminal_title --

I'm running bazel 0.4.5-homebrew

[brendandouglas]

Does 'bazel info' fail from the command line also?

Specifically, can you run:
bazel info --tool_tag=ijwb:IDEA:community --curses=no --color=no --noexperimental_ui --noprogress_in_terminal_title --

If it's fine from the command line, perhaps it's the same problem as #18

[andyphilipp]

Running the command in the terminal does work. But I'm not using the IJ bundled JDK, I've used the "Switch IDE boot JDK" feature to set it up with the same JDK as JAVA_HOME.

[brendandouglas]

Are you getting any other exceptions in your logs (Help > Show Log in Files > idea.log.*) or in the Problems view?

Could you check that you have the correct bazel binary selected in Settings > Other Settings > Bazel Settings'?

If so, perhaps try running with IntelliJ's bundled JDK?

[andyphilipp]

Updating the binary location did the trick! Thank you!

[brendandouglas]

Great, good to hear it's working!

[yusufyildiz34]

Thank you very much. I set Settings > Other Settings > Bazel Settings = /usr/local/bin/bazel in the IntelliJ IDEA then it worked 👍

[songqinghu]

Thank you very much.

[GraceGong123]

Thanks! Very helpful!

In Android Studio 4 @Windows 10 , it doesn't work.
However, you can try to download bazel from https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases, then change the name ( e.g. bazel-3.5.0-windows-x86_64.exe to bazel.exe ) , put bazel.exe to anywhere you want.
in Android Stuido (after bazel plugin installed), "File"->"Settings"->"Bazel Settings"->"Bazel binary location", change the path to your downloaded bazel.exe
done
