NetBeans 14/15 not scanning for external changes on Mac
Hello,
I have issue with NB suddenly stopped seeing external changes to files. I am using this feature since NB 6/7 (or so) and it has been working well all the time.
Suddenly, it stopped working. I have suspicion that it is related to updating the JDK recently.
I am using the feature together with remote-upload feature of project, but it does not work even without remote upload.
Before, when I created a file or folder in Finder, NetBeans automatically refreshed and showed the changes in the Project/Files tree.
Now I have to run the "Scan for external changes" menu command all the time, which completely wastes my workflow, because I use external watchers (webpack or gulp) to build the project and then rely on NetBeans to upload the changes to remote server.
I have tried almost everything, googled whole day but found no solution, nothing helped:
creating another, clean project
reinstalling NB, updating from version 14 to 15
uninstalling and reinstalling JRE
uninstalling and reinstalling JDK
checking permissions
enabling Security>Accessibilty and Security>Full-disk access to NetBeans and java processes
re-enabling "Miscellaneous > Files > Enable auto-scanning of sources" option in Options
restarting NB
restarting Mac
.. everything above in different order, several times :(
My configuration:
================
- JDK version installed: jdk-18.0.2.1.jdk
- JRE version: build 1.8.0_341-b10
- OS: Mac OS 12.5.1 Monterey, Intel x64
Any idea, anyone?
Thanks for help,
Best,

I had same problem. Found that deleting the generated build files and cleaning out cache fixed it. Cache location is in the “about” box and generated files are the ones with date of last build. Maybe ver 15 fixes this.

Interesting - I don't use the NB internal debugger for my projects, I must have run it accidentally, but I don't realize that I would click the Pause I/O button - maybe some accidental keyboard shortcut? Anyway, now I know how to fix it in the future :-) Thanks for this hint! :-)

fyi: this property is set by the second button next to the memory graph
in the tool bar ("Pause I/O Checks"). And it will indeed stop netbeans
from listening to external file changes as long its enabled.
good that you found the issue :)

Re: NetBeans 14/15 not scanning for external changes on Mac
Posted by Giles Winstanley <st...@snaq.net>.
Excellent to know, so thanks for the diagnostics, Ludvík. Next time it
happens to me I'll try that line before anything else to see if it can
save the drama. I've resorted to exporting my core changes to an
external file in the hope they import smoothly if I start with a clean
state.

Re: NetBeans 14/15 not scanning for external changes on Mac
Posted by Ludvík Michálek <ko...@bigfoot.cz>.
Update: I found the cause of the issue, finally (thanks Stan).
1) I've created a git repository where I saved "default" preferences created by fresh install of NB
2) next, I overwrote those preferences with the backup of my previous preferences
3) I compared the commits / made diff on the files and then went step-by-step and replaced/reverted the files
Finally I found the single one that caused the problem:
File:
/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/15/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/masterfs/ui.properties
This file contains single line:
org.netbeans.io.suspend=1
I have changed the value from 1 to 0 and it works, while keeping all my previous preferences! So all my issues were just caused by this single boolean value. I don't understand which process and under which circumstances writes this value, but definitely the Scan for external changes was heavily affected by this, although the UI option seemed to be enabled.
Hope this helps anyone in the future.
Thanks everyone,
Ludvik

Re: NetBeans 14/15 not scanning for external changes on Mac
Posted by Ludvík Michálek <ko...@bigfoot.cz>.
Thanks to all of you that responded today (Alexander, Rtherman59), thanks for your tips!
Finally, the tip below from Stan helped and saved me!
I can't believe I forgot such simple thing like removing/moving preferences - the thing I always recommend to others :) This helped perfectly, although I will have to explore how to get most of my previous preferences back, since I really miss them - I've been importing them since v6, year by year..
THANKS again, you saved my day(s)!
Have a great day everyone,
Ludvik

Re: NetBeans 14/15 not scanning for external changes on Mac
Posted by Giles Winstanley <st...@snaq.net>.
One thing I've noticed over the last few NB releases (on macOS) is that
it's been very haphazard/flaky at reliably working after importing
settings from a previous version. On both NB14/15 I've had to start over
with a fresh/blank preferences folder for it to work reliably (and this
even without any non-standard plugins). Whether this has any bearing on
your situation I don't know, but that would be my first thing to try,
and one you don't mention in your list of things you've already tried.
Simplest thing would be to rename the existing folder
($HOME/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/15) to something else (e.g.
"15-old") while NB is closed, then reopen. It should essentially start
from scratch; see if that works. If no change then you can revert to the
old settings.
