[Solved] IDEA not ignoring/removing old sources?

[imacatlolol]

This has been a thorn in my side for a while, and I've never been able to find a good solution.

Whenever I update Forge, the newly mapped sources get applied just fine. However, the previous version still ends up lingering around in my environment, resulting in my searches getting cluttered and generally being a nuisance.

The solution that I've been using up until now is to just delete my Gradle cache by hand. In some cases, I have to delete the entire cache for it to be resolved, which forces me to sit around waiting to Forge to patch and re-map the game's sources for my desired version. This gets out of hand pretty fast if I'm swapping versions a lot, and can be troublesome if I'm developing for multiple versions in the same project.

Chances are that I'm doing something wrong here. Probably an IDEA configuration or Gradle task that I don't know about. Any ideas?

Hi

I have exactly the same problem (in IntelliJ), I haven't spent the time to figure out exactly what the root cause is, but there is a workaround that you don't have to delete the cache for.

If you go to Project Structure, Libraries, and select the mapped snapshot, you can manually unlink the older sources which are mapped to the class file.

Eg see screenshot (after removing the extra/older source).

It's not perfect because when you refresh the gradle task it puts the old ones back in again, but it's not a big hassle.

Ah! That's a great workaround, thank you!

This appears to be fixed with version 2020.1.

Ha! That's what I get for putting off the update, I guess.
