Shouldn't the .iml file be in .idea/? #222

Open orome opened 8 years ago

orome commented 8 years ago

For other projects I've built using the IDE, I have the .iml file tucked away in the .idea/ directory. But if I try that here my project isn't recognized. Is this normal?

Originally in IntelliJ, .iml files were inside the module directory. It seems that newer versions of IntelliJ instead put them in the .idea/ directory. HaskForce still currently puts them (and assumes they are) in the module directory.

What do you mean by the "project isn't recognized"? Is there a specific error message that you receive?

If I move it to the .idea/ directory, the project isn't recognized as a project (e.g., no modules are recognized). This isn't the case with other projects where I do the same (move the .iml manually).

Yes, HaskForce associates the .iml files directly with their module directories, so it expects them to be in their respective roots. This could change, but would require some work.
