Cannot open project (IntelliJ failes silently)
Hi guys,
Since I installed my IDE on a new Windwows PC, I cannot open some projects.
(Fails on version 2025.3.2 and 2025.3.3)
(A coworker on MAC seem to have the same problem)
The project is just a “helm” project, so just some helm files, no code.
I see this in the logs, so it looks like IntelliJ tries to open it with some Eclipse logic.
2026-02-20 15:49:02,895 [ 302363] INFO - #c.i.i.i.ProjectUtil - Processors found for project in C:\Udvikler\ws\jb.it.xxx.helm: Eclipse, text editor
2026-02-20 15:49:02,895 [ 302363] INFO - #c.i.i.i.ProjectUtil - Using processor Eclipse to open the project at C:/Udvikler/ws/jb.it.xxx.helm
I tried clearing the cache and deleting my profile folder, but this does not help.
Workaround:
If I delete the .project file, the project opens fine - and if I restore the deleted .project file, the project can open fine.
(Until the next project i need to open)

Thanks for a great product :)

Thanks for all the details and the logs, they match a known issue we’re tracking (IJPL-231566). The fix for this is already available in IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1 EAP 4 and newer, so updating to that build should resolve the problem without needing the `.project` delete/restore workaround.
Please let me know if that helps!
I tried the EAP, and this can open the project.
Thanks for the help. :)
