Spring Data JPA intelligence not working in Intellij

I solved this problem by adding JavaEE Persistence framework support. Just right click on the project, select Add Framework Support and then scroll down to find the JavaEE Persistence, then enable the checkbox and hit OK:

^{Adding JavaEE Persistence Facet}

It will add a persistence.xml file, you can delete it. Finally your auto completions will be back:

^{Moment of truth}

Update You can also enable JPA facet in the Project Structure. First, press Ctrl Alt Shift S or go to Files > Project Structure. Hit the Add button and in the menu, then select JPA:

^{Adding JPA Facet}

And finally hit OK.

I have set up a spring boot project with Spring Data JPA, but I am not seeing the intelligence for Spring data jpa.

The screen shot shows the issue, my Restaurant entity has a variable call restaurantAddress, I am trying to let intelliJ help me finish the coding but no intelligence shows up.

My project set up is as follows:

Application class:

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.mycompany"})
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

POM:

I do not have the option "JavaEE Persistence" listed on the "Add Framework Support Dialog" . I added the dependency org.hibernate.javax.persistence:hibernate-jpa-2.1-api:1.0.0.‌Final to POM but it is still not showing up.. Any suggestions?

I've already added JPA facet. But the intelligence is still not working.

@David Which version of IntelliJ?
Ali Dehghani almost 8 years

2016.1.2 is the latest one..Is your project is a Spring Boot project?Some versions of IntelliJ does not support Spring Boot very well.

If you already has JPA framework support but no completion, you should remove it and add again. It will(?) generate new configs. Worked for me.

@anibyl Adding a totally useless persistence.xml sometimes will do the trick, I guess

Intellij 2018.1.5 same issue, the @UsievaładKimajeŭ suggestion works for me. i.e remove Spring Data plugin, restart then enable it.

Great answer. Thank you!

Not working for me. Removed the config multiple times. Do I have to set it to hibernate or no provider?

Usievaład Kimajeŭ' s suggestion worked for me. Remove and add Spring Data again.

Just add once & restart your device, it works for me
