ls -ld ~/.jcef-bundle
- Review the output carefully to ensure it is the correct directory.
- Only proceed with deletion if you are absolutely certain it is safe to remove.

Message​

"This view is not available until indexes are built"​

When our plugin runs in an IDE (e.g., JetBrains IDEs, Android Studio), a message saying "This view is not available until indexes are built" may appear as shown in the screenshot.

If the IDE is launched for the first time without indexing the project, this message may be displayed once initially.

Our plugin will launch immediately once the IDE has finished indexing. Please wait until the indexing process is complete.

Message displayed when project indexing has not been performed
