`~` is not supported in external import roots

[maratori]

We use bazel in our project. It puts external .proto files in the directory containing ~, for example

/private/var/tmp/_bazel_marat-reymers/9eb28da2e14c36618091dce70be2b929/external/com_google_googleapis~

The plugin can't resolve imports from that directory.

As a workaround, I've created a symlink and used it in the settings.

Can your provide a example project for it?

Here is the repository with the example https://github.com/maratori/protobuf-plugin-bug

This is an IntelliJ issue, IntelliJ ignore all files and folders which ends with ~

You can change this behavoir by Settings | Editor | File Types | Ignore files and folders
