In IntelliJ IDEA, is there a way to see background task output?

Say I'm importing new project and it's taking way too long in my opinion. Background task is stuck for example at "Gradle: build".

How can I debug (verify), if it's doing anything? Is there a way to see any specific output?

You can look at the log file of IntelliJ IDEA. For macOS run:

tail -f ~/Library/Logs/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2023.3/idea.log

with the correct path corresponding to your IntelliJ version. For Linux and Windows, same principle, see Advanced configuration - Logs directory
