Unable to open single file resource

[Jacek Nakonieczny]

Having support for zip bundles is great.However there are cases when static resource is just a simple file (.js or .css) and editing it directly in IC is impossible.

Jacek, IC has featured support for single file static resources since the first release. It uses the content type from the companion meta.xml file to decide which of IntelliJ IDEA's editors to use. What types of files are you trying to edit and what content type are you setting in the meta.xml file that's not allowing it to work?

[Jacek Nakonieczny]

File that I'm unable to edit is .resource that is plain javascript file and it's meta file content type is set to application/javascript.

[Scott Wells]

Jacek, will you do File>Invalidate Caches / Restart to force it to reassociate the file type and see if that helps? Before doing that, please add the following under Help>Debug Log Settings so we can see how it's associating it:

#com.illuminatedcloud.intellij.filetype.StaticResourceFileTypeDetector

If it doesn't work, please send me your idea.log so I can see what's going on.

[Jacek Nakonieczny]

File is associated as JavaScript which is correct but double-clicking on it does nothing.

Some stray info log appeared, might be connected

[Scott Wells]

Do you mind emailing me your entire idea.log, or at least starting at the StaticResourceFileTypeDetector portion? You can send it to [e-mail].

[Jacek Nakonieczny]

Sure, just sent.

[Jacek Nakonieczny]

Problem occurred because .resource file type was registered as archive. Removing this registration entry allowed IntelliJ to properly open file for editing.

[Jacek Nakonieczny]

One note tho. When .resource file is of unknown type, as it was Archive before, git version control plugin doesn't know how to handle it for diff operation.
