Why Auto-completion Is Not Working?

crashes
GDSL is IntelliJ's native DSL Groovy-based language for defining additional auto-completion rules. We don't know why, but sometimes the GDSL execution crashes (typically when switching branches) and then IDEA stops the auto-completion for all projects. Once this happens, navigate to the External Libraries > Pricefx API > logic-debug-xxxx-xx-xx.jar > PFXIdeaPublicGroovyAPI.gdsl in the project tree. If the auto-completion had probably has crashed, then you have to reactivate it by clicking a yellow popup with the button 'Activate back' in the yellow popupappears. Note that it may take a few seconds before the yellow popup appearscouple of seconds to appear. Once you press 'Activate back', the auto-completition is enabled again.
After pressing "Activate Back", you can also purge the IntelliJ cache: File > Invalidate Caches / Restart > Invalidate and Restart. This should force IntelliJ to rebuild caches for the API documentation.
Groovy Library elements folder needs to be marked as 'Source' for 'libs' to work
The auto-completion of methods in "libs" works only if the "elements" folder is marked as "Source" in IDEA. All logic elements are created in the default package and therefore the parent folder "elements" must be a root source folder. Best to do this in using right click on the root folder

The date suffix needs to be removed from Groovy Library name for 'libs' to work
The auto-completion of methods in "libs" (resp. legacy lib) does not work when the Groovy library is in a folder that is not a valid Java package name (= by default it has the date suffix "+YYYY-MM-DD"). In that case, simply rename and remove the suffix part if you do not have a logic with different validFrom. This is safe to do, package tool does not use this information; it reads the 'validAfter' information from the logic.json.
Element names not unique
For cases when auto-completion does not work for referring elements either within the same logic or in libs and (resp. legacy lib): if you use two elements of the same name in the project, IDEA does not know which Class should be evaluated. Avoid having elements of the same name, so e.g. add a suffix "Utils" to the names of the Groovy library elements.
