Hi, sorry to hear this is broken for you. I will try to look into this more next week.

I found a similar problem which was related to a hostname change, which happens to me whenever I change WiFi networks.

I raised this issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-148653/Preview-of-Markdown-stays-empty-after-hostname-change

The issue includes a workaround. Please let me know if this works for you. The issue has been classified as a usability problem. I tend to disagree, but didn't find the time to discuss this. let's see first if this issue matches yours.

In the meantime as a workaround, you can try to enable the JavaFX preview. You'll need to install the JavaFX support plugin first.

I will investigate this further next week.

Hi @ahus1,

I did change the hostname of my Linux Mint dev laptop recently. :-)

I deleted the files in .cache/JetBrains for IntelliJ 2024.1 and now it works. Will test the JavaFX workaround as well.

Thanks.

Good to hear the first option worked for you. The second option with JavaFX was very slow the last time I tried. Let's hear what your experiences are.

If jetbrains doesn't work on that issue, I might add a workaround to the plugin to delete the file automatically.

[wfouche]

JavaFX worked after configuring it according to your instructions at: https://intellij-asciidoc-plugin.ahus1.de/docs/users-guide/features/preview/javafx-preview.html

However, I also find it a bit slow and my SVG Mermaid diagrams did not render and I had to change them to PNG then it worked fine. JCEF is definitely preferred, keeping JavaFX as a backup (Plan B) option.

[ahus1]

A fix that will delete the lock automatically on startup will be part of the next release of the plugin. I'll update this issue once a pre-release is available.

[ahus1]

Plugin-version 0.41.14 is now available with a fix. It should be available from the JetBrains markeplace soon.

The it is also available from GitHub releases.

Thanks. I tested the fix and it works great.

Happy to hear it works for you. Please upvote the issue I opened for IntelliJ, so it will be fixed there eventually as well: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-148653/Preview-of-Markdown-stays-empty-after-hostname-change
