New items are not added to metadata subscription automatically

[Magdalena Kusiak]

After retrieving new metadata items from org a popup appears asking if you want to add it to metadata subscription. However, despite clicking yes the new entries are not added to package.xml.
It’s working fine when using SFDX projects, but stopped working about a month ago for non-SFDX ones.

Hi. Can you please add the following to Help>Diagnostic Tools>Debug Log Settings:

#com.illuminatedcloud.intellij.settings.module.ModuleContentsSynchronizationListener

then reproduce the behavior and attach the resulting idea.log file for review? You can find it using Help>Show Log in Explorer/Finder/Files.

Hi Scott. Attaching the log file. I also noticed that the same happens when you add a new apex class to the project. A popup is displayed asking whether to add new content to metadata subscription and then even if you select Yes, nothing happens.

Thanks for the log. Here's the issue:

java.lang.AssertionError: Wrong line separators: '<!--types>\r\n        ...' at offset 10
    at com.intellij.openapi.util.text.StringUtil.assertValidSeparators(StringUtil.java:2450)

It looks like there's something odd in your package.xml file. It's specifying line separators as the issue, but I suspect it may have something to do with the way that comment is formatted. Do you mind providing the actual package.xml file so I can see what might be going on?

Hi, I'm attaching package.cml file.

[Scott Wells]

Thank you. I'm able to reproduce using your provided file. Investigating now.

Fix committed for inclusion in tomorrow's build.

Note that as a temporary workaround, you could change the file's line separators from CRLF to LF. With tomorrow's fix, though, that will not be necessary, and the file's existing line separators are properly retained when IC2 auto-updates the package.xml file.
