Moved project in Intellij and now I can't compile

Question

I am working on a project in Intellij. I started working on it offline and then created a repo where I moved my project in.

The problem I'm having now is that the .idea folder is no longer generated with all the proper files. Also if I add all of the files back to the .idea I am Intellij says that package does not exist for all of the libraries defined in the Maven pom file.

I did not do a refactor -> move inside Intellij but instead just moved the folders manually.

What might be causing this?

Answer 1

Try to reimport the project from existing sources. File -> New Project -> Project from existing sources. Intellij will recreate all necessary files.

If this is not enough, remove every single intellij file + .idea folder. Keep only src files and pom.xml. Then Reimport maven project again as described above.
