Silent hang of plugin when `task.md` is not found #36

If the IDE and/or plugin doesn't find task.md file it:

doesn't show any contents of the course;
doesn't show any error;
File menu is not opening.

Just for the information: idea.log contained an exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: No task description file for.

Hi @niyaznigmatullin , I'm a developer of EduTools plugin. I'd like to ask you about your scenarios where this error occurs. Can you please share it? I'd like to better understand your workflow to create a fix that suits it better

Hi!

In our case this happened when I forgot to add it to git and my collaborator pulled the changes and couldn't do anything in the IDE.
