IntelliJ strange behavior of static import completion for org.junit.Assert.assertEquals

Question

In IntelliJ, when I press Alt Enter , it correctly offers to add static import for assertNotEquals :

But not for assertEquals :

Furthermore, when I press Control Alt Space , it doesn't offer assertEquals , only assertNotEquals and assertArrayEquals :

I have to add the static import by typing manually. Even then, it doesn't help auto-completing, it only offers assertNotEquals and assertArrayEquals while typing.

Oddly, this only happens on my work PC in Windows. I had this problem since version 11, 12, 13, now I'm using version 14.3, community edition.

Why is this happening and how can I make it offer assertEquals ?

Side note: I don't know if this is relevant, but it used to offer assertEquals from junit.framework instead of org.junit . That was error prone and annoying, so I disabled all imports from junit.framework .

This can happen if you have excluded org.junit.Assert.assertEquals in the settings. Open your settings and search for "imports". In Editor / General / Auto Import you can configure a list of classes and pacakges to Exclude from Import and Completion .
