"Cannot find declaration to go" protos declaration in IntelliJ IDEA

Question

I am trying to use gRPC proto file to generate stub code for inter-service communication. Everything is okay and when I run mvn clean install , it installs everything and builds successfully .

But still now protos files are in red color and can't go definition when I click to go to it's definition. It says me Cannot find declaration to go . When build is successful then why it is not possible to find declaration in IntelliJ IDEA ? I clean every cached on IDE and indexing is also successful . I also cleared m2 cache .

Is there anything to find this solution so that I can go to proto class definition?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Your IntelliJ IDEA needs to generate Project setup. So you need to execute the main plugin goal, which is idea:idea . Use this command. It will helped me.

mvn -U idea:idea

Here -U = Forces a check for missing releases and updated snapshots on remote repositories
