There is nothing on left. It is a maven project. Why?

I solved this by selecting "Project" as view (by default i had "Project Files"). Hope this helped.

Thanks, really after switching view it appeared in Project structure -> Artifacts -> new artifact added -> Library files – Rustam Shafigullin Aug 23 '21 at 07:22
I've had the same problem and narrowed it down to the following configuration that might have been messed up during the upgrade.
File (on Mac): ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2018.1/options/projectView.xml
<application>
<component name="ProjectViewSharedSettings">
<option name="showLibraryContents" value="false" />
<option name="showMembers" value="true" />
</component>
</application>
Change/remove the showLibraryContents
entry. This setting is no longer available in the UI, "External Libraries" are always shown.

Also works with Android Studio of course, though it took me a while to find this answer ! – Simon Guerout Jan 29 '19 at 17:07

This works. Maybe it is not located under IntelliJIdea2018.1 but under IdeaIC2018.1 – Gabriel Jul 31 '19 at 14:26
I was facing the same issue on windows, i solved it by
right click on pom.xml > maven > reimport
Then reopen the project, It worked for me.

Hmmm, it seems I have seen this same kind of thing recently. Check your module settings (right click on highest level folder - open module settings, or Command-;). Make sure you have one module if it is a single-POM project, and check the sources, paths, dependencies tabs and make sure they look right. I think I've seen this once when I created a module manually rather than letting intellij create one for the Maven module automatically.
That "recycle/refresh" icon on the far right pane you show - the Maven project pane - can also sometimes get it to fix things it didn't get right when you initially check out project.

If maven re-import does nothing, check your pom.xml for errors and try commenting out the offending ones (marked in red).
In Intellij:
Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S
-> Select Modules and ensure that there is only one module. Delete the other ones.If all else fails: In Intellij, Select "Invalidate caches/Restart" -> Close Intellij -> Go to the project folder and delete .idea folder -> Reopen Intellij and "mvn clean install"
