Can't recreate IC2 project after I deleted it before

[Former user]

I always create IC2 projects by pointing it to an existing Github repo. For some reasons I wanted to get rid of everything local and removed a project that worked perfectly.

As IDEA doesn't allow a simple delete project including all VCS stuff. I manually deleted the project folder the git folder and then remove the project from the IDEA start screen.

I then tried to recreate the same project from Github and just got a stale project. It clones from Github, asks me to open it but then nothing happens. No configuration, resolve stuff.

I am blocked and switching back to work in Eclipse...

Robert, the main thing that looks out of the ordinary in what you've provided is that the files pulled from Github don't look complete. For IC to detect the project as a Salesforce project, it needs to see either Salesforce source files (*.cls, *.trigger, *.page, *.component, *.resource, *.cmp, or *.app), or in the case of an SFDX project, an sfdx-project.json file in the project root directory. I don't see any of that in the Project view in the screenshot. Can you verify that the expected files were pulled from Git?

Fixed. I checked in an incomplete .idea project folder which prevented IDEA to recreate an intact project. Eighter checkin nothing or the all files described in http://www.illuminatedcloud.com/support/faq section "Can I manage the IDE project files in v"

In addition to the partial project structure mentioned by Robert, there was a regression introduced in a recent build that has been resolved in 2.0.0.8.
