Get Module object for selected VirtualFiles

ModuleUtil.findModuleForFile(VirtualFile file, Project project)

This call returns null in some case
The scenario is I am trying to find out a module for a directory under classes dir.
The name of the directory is: VirtualFile: E:\AnchorRequired1\classes\production
both VirtualFile and project passed to findModuleForFile are appropriate.

I am not able to figure out why it returns null.

TIA

Have you tried:

ProjectRootManager.getInstance(project).getFileIndex().getModuleForFile(myFile)

?

Yes I have tried that too. That also returns null.

The directory whose module information I want is a directory in output folder. Is this causing a problem,if yes is there any other way to get module for a directory under output folder?

Hello Yuvraj,

It returns null because "classes" is an excluded directory. The files under
it are not processed by IDEA in any way.
