Can't compile/run a java project in IntelliJ

The issue:

While it was working fine yesterday. Today, I wasn't able to compile my project(spring-boot). I created a demo project to simulate the same issue that happened in my current project.

When I try to run the project using the run button It doesn't want to compile. Note all the errors from the failed compilation. Also, you can see that all dependencies are imported (see External Libraries):

I know I can run the app by typing mvn spring-boot:run in the terminal. But for some reason, I don't want to do that.

As you can see, this demo is a simple spring-boot project:

pom.xml:

What I 've tried:

I've tried countless solutions among them:

  • Select Build->Rebuild Project
  • Clicking File>Invalidate caches/ restart
  • mvn clean -> Build -> Make Project
  • Maven -> Reimport
  • Deleted .iml file and re-imported the project
  • Checked that there is no excludes in Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler | Excludes

Solution

  • Thanks to Andry's comment my issue was solved. Here are the steps I've done:

    1. Export IDE settings(keymaps, plugins). You can export it by going to File | Manage IDE settings | Export Settings... It will export a zip file that you can later import it when you restore default IDE configuration
    2. Go to File | Manage IDE settings | Restore Default Settings... the IDE will restart and will be restored to the default configuration. this command re-generated path.macros.xml file that was missing with the right configuration. Note that you can file in <IDE config>/options directory
    3. Import the exported zip file File | Manage IDE settings | Import Settings...
