IntelliJ IDEA - Not compiling

Question

Using InteliJ IDEA, version 2017.2.5,

from some undetermined point in the past, it is not auto-compiling my code on the go.

This implies many things:

• Not coloring certain classes, variables or attributes.
• Not analything nor compiling code.

This means that I just get compile errors from maven when I run my package or similar goals.

I've been checking some of the settings, but I don't find anything. Any clue about this misconfigure thing?

It is possible you have switched the editor into Power Save Mode . You can turn off Power Save Mode by invoking the File | Power Save Mode File | Power Save Mode menu item. Or use Help | Find Action... Help | Find Action... ( Cmd/Ctrl Shift A ),type the first letters of "power save mode" and press Enter.
