Unable to open existing project
Answered
issue: when I click "open project", navigate to the root directory of the project, and click open; Clion does nothing.
error message: None
Process:
I published a project to github on another machine, freshly installed Clion with all default settings. did a git clone of the repo (all files verified as being properly downloaded). when I go to open it, nothing happens, Clion just sits on the home screen (doesn't even open the IDE).
as far as I can tell there is no difference between the files from the original machine and this one, so I'm at a loss for clues on how to solve this.

Hi! Could you please share your project with us so we could take a look at the problem? Also please specify which OS and CLion version you are using (About CLion)?
Hi Maximumpanda,
I just had a similar experience with CLion refused to open my existing project based on CMake. What I did was deleting the CMakeCache.txt in the project root folder then try open the CMakeList.txt file as a project again. Everything works. Please have a try.
I think there is some bug that once you moved your project location, the generated Cache file is not valid any more and CLion failed to handle it correctly.
