Intellij and Clearcase: Performing VCS refresh takes too long

Question

I am using IntelliJ 12 and am seeing some strange problems around Clearcase.

I am knew to IntelliJ so perhaps I've missed some configuration.

Every time I attempt to check in a file, I get the attached popup which appears on my screen for minutes. I can click Skip to hide it, but I don't understand why it takes so long.

Also, when I have a file that is in Clearcase but not yet checked out, when I click on the Clearcase menu I get the option to Check In even after a refresh. This makes no sense and is quite confusing.

Therefore, I'm wondering if the Clearcase plugin is stable, or if I'm missing some config.

No, thankfully we switched to using Git. IntelliJ's Clearcase support is very poor — DJ180, May 09 '14 at 20:45

Before advising you to log an issue on that IntelliJ ClearCase plugin, check if you aren't using a dynamic view.

IntelliJ does a lot of code parsing, and that can take times in a dynamic view (network access), as opposed to a snapshot view (local disk access).

See "What are the differences between a snapshot view and a dynamic view?".

No, I am not using a dynamic view, it is a snapshot – DJ180 Oct 29 '13 at 15:15
@DJ180 then it is an issue to report to the appriate Jira page for that plugin. – VonC Oct 29 '13 at 15:32
