InteliJ infinite "scanning files to index" #2458
Description
Steps to reproduce
I recently started a new Spring Boot project using JDK 21, Maven and Vaadin. As a basis for this project, I used a Vaadin starter project for version 14 (version 14.10.9 to be exact).
I use IntelliJ 2023 as my IDE, running on Windows 11.
I have zScaler installed and active.
Actual behavior
When I open & run the project without the Vaadin Designer plugin enabled, it works as expected.
When I open the project with the Vaadin Designer plugin enabled, IntelliJ gets stuck on "scanning files to index". An animated loading bar appear in the bottom status bar as well as one in the middle of my screen (see image below).
I let this run for several hours, to no avail. When I press the 'cancel' button I get prompted to download & install a bunch of npm packages. However, when double checking these packages are already installed. This behavior is probably caused by the incomplete indexing. Other than this prompt, the project opens nicely after pressing that 'cancel' button. Both using the Vaadin Designer plugin's features and running the program behaves as expected.
Below you can find the last few lines of the idea.log before the freeze happens (this does not change until I click 'cancel'):

Expected behavior
IntelliJ not getting stuck at "scanning files to index".
