How to set indexing locations in AppCode?

Question

AppCode is indexing my entire home folder including places like ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Maps/... and ~/Dropbox/ etc. which is taking eons. I know I can invalidate my cache and restart, but then it will try to index everything again.

Is there a way to limit the locations where AppCode indexes? or to see what paths it tries to index?

This answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/6535511) doesn't work as I don't have my entire home folder in the project (that I know of). This answer seems to only work for Java projects (https://stackoverflow.com/a/45598530). This answer just causes an endless loop: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49283641

Your project's search paths might accidentally contain a reference to your home directory, or it might just be a bug. If you create an issue we can take a look for you. – Macymad

Is there any way to see how the index directories are found? For instance, this -> that -> that – Schacker

Answer 1

In AppCode, navigate to the files navigator.

Then you can right click on any folder and exclude it.

Saved my day! For me, it wasn't setting everything as "Excluded", but rather setting the correct folder as the "Project Sources and Headers". – Barrage
