Importing a Project form a Gradle Model

Use auto-import - If selected, re-import of the project is done automatically every time you make changes to the project.

SNAPSHOT Refresh Problem

There are cases when Gradle pulls the latest version of the SNAPSHOT and caches it in its dependency cache, but IntelliJ IDEA Gradle plugin does not seem to notice it and uses an old version of the snapshot. This is troublesome during debugging, when the source code as displayed by IntelliJ does not match the bytecode being debugged.

Possible solutions for this (have not tested any of them, do that next time when I need it):

1. Refresh Dependencies of the Gradle Module

Gradle tab -> Select the module -> Right click -> Refresh Dependencies

2. Remove the Problem Dependency

Project Tab -> External Libraries -> expand Gradle: library-name -> Select "library root" -> Delete.

Then go to the Gradle tab and refresh dependencies.
