IntelliJ inspection settings file missing

I can't find the file where my inspections settings are stored. I looked in ~/.IntelliJIdea15/config/inspection but the only file there is Default.xml with the content 

<inspections profile_name="test" version="1.0">
  <option name="myName" value="Default" />
  <inspection_tool class="LoggerInitializedWithForeignClass" enabled="false" level="WARNING" enabled_by_default="false">
    <option name="loggerClassName" value="org.apache.log4j.Logger,org.slf4j.LoggerFactory,org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory,java.util.logging.Logger" />
    <option name="loggerFactoryMethodName" value="getLogger,getLogger,getLog,getLogger" />
  </inspection_tool>
</inspections>

I tried tracking the entire config directory with Git and change some inspections to see if any file changed, but nothing. I also created new inspection profiles and grepped for their names.

Where are the inspections stored? I'm using IntelliJ Ultimate 15.0.1

Solution

  • You can choose the location you want the inspection-settings file gets saved. Go into Preferences->Inspections and Use Manage->Export to give a path of your choice.

    (I believe intellij tracks inspection settings at Project level by default.)
