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!

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.
