Why Doesn't Directory Show Up In Project Tree

Hello Donald,

DM> I have a module "JUnit" that contains a directory testFiles/ACS and

Are any of these directories added to a project as libraries? Do any of them
match masks specified in Settings | General | Exclude files and folders?

Dmitry,

They are not added as libraries. They are part of a directory tree whose root is marked as regular source. They do not match any of the masks listed in Settings | General | Ignore files and folders.

I did list the full path (albeit in a roundabout manner). Just to be clear, it is:

JUNIT/testFiles/ACS/ACS.HRC.Suite

Thank you,

Donald

Can you reproduce this problem in the isolated project? Does it help if you reset IDEA caches by deleting ~\.IntelliJIdea60\system directory?

If the problem remains, please attach a sample project illustrating it and idea.log file from ~\.IntelliJIdea60\system\log.

I attempted to simulate the problem in a bare-bones test project with no luck.

It appears that things are organized a little differently on the Mac. I'm guessing that it would be something from ~/Library/caches/IntelliJIDEA60/ that I would want to delete, but I'm hesitant about deleting all of it without even being sure that's the correct directory.

Thank you,

Donald

Try deleting /Users/[user_name]/Library/Caches/IntelliJIDEA60/caches first.

It spent a good long while rebuilding the caches, but that didn't help.

Then try to set up your project from scratch.

Are you looking at the package view (my guess would be that such names are
illegal package elements)?

Not the prettiest answer, but it worked.

I had been wanting to rebuild the project directory from scratch anyway - I just didn't feel like doing it yet. :)

Thank you,

Donald
