There is nothing on left. It is a maven project. Why?

IntelliJ

intellij-idea

I've had the same problem and narrowed it down to the following configuration that might have been messed up during the upgrade.

File (on Mac): ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2018.1/options/projectView.xml

<application>
  <component name="ProjectViewSharedSettings">
    <option name="showLibraryContents" value="false" />
    <option name="showMembers" value="true" />
  </component>
</application>

Change/remove the showLibraryContents entry. This setting is no longer available in the UI, "External Libraries" are always shown.

I was facing the same issue on windows, i solved it by

right click on pom.xml > maven > reimport

Then reopen the project, It worked for me.

  1. If maven re-import does nothing, check your pom.xml for errors and try commenting out the offending ones (marked in red).

  2. In Intellij: Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S -> Select Modules and ensure that there is only one module. Delete the other ones.

  3. If all else fails: In Intellij, Select "Invalidate caches/Restart" -> Close Intellij -> Go to the project folder and delete .idea folder -> Reopen Intellij and "mvn clean install"

Deleting ./idea directory and re-importing the project worked for it.
