Comments cannot be created (“Only project file”)

[Bernhard Groll]

When trying to add a new comment via menu entry or button in the code comment window an info window with title “Attention” and text “Only project file.” pops up and no comment is added.

I do not know what the message wants to convey; the files I have tried to add comments to all were project files in the sense that they were part of the project and not e.g. from an outside library.

Since I have just installed the plugin for the first time this might be a configuration issue or a failure in usage.

IntelliJ IDEA version: 2016.1.3 (Ultimate Edition)

When full path to file not started from project path this message must be shown. This is true in your case?

[Bernhard Groll]

If I understand you correctly then this is indeed the case. The paths look like this:

#!
/<common path>/projects/<project dir>
/<common path>/repositories/…/<source file>

I experienced the same issue, using:

IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.5
Build #IU-162.2228.15, built on October 14, 2016
JRE: 1.8.0_112-release-287-b2 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o

Furthermore I'm using a Linux-Machine. - could this be a factor here?

And all the files I tested the plugin with, where indeed Project Files.
