After creating a new project (java) and immediately using "Add Framework Support" to add

• Java EE / Web Application
• Google App Engine Standard (all libs)

I get the following notification:

Error generating appengine-web.xml

There was an error generating the appengine-web.xml file for App Engine standard support. Some operations such as deploy and local-run may not work properly. Please try again or generate the file manually in the WEB-INF directory of your module's web resource directory. If you are using Maven or Gradle, make sure to first sync the project with IDEA by pressing refresh in the corresponding tool window.

There's no indication of the actual error encountered.

It would be nice if the error message also specified how to generate the file manually.

Thanks for the report @rwbcwhite! A few more details could be helpful - do you create a completely new, empty Java EE app? Where do you add Google App Engine Standard (all libs) - when creating an application, or later using a notification / menu to add AppEngine support?

[rwbcwhite]

It was a just-created project and the very first thing was "Add Framework Support" from the project's context (right-click) menu.

Thanks! It seems there is some incompatibility in the newer platform code that causes an error when generating. We'll be working on the fix once we identify it. As a workaround, please add appenging configuration file manually (as a simple example https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples/tree/main/appengine-java8/helloworld/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF).

We've updated the app engine documentation for newer IntelliJ versions, please use Tools -> Google Cloud Code -> App Engine -> Add Support... to add AppEngine support.
