'Open Project' has encountered an error

The project description file (.project) for 'AutoClicker' is missing. This file contains important information about the project. The project will not function properly until this file is restored.

enter image description here

I had moved computers in class and moved all my projects on a 1TB hard drive over to the new computer and I had gotten all the projects to work, but one. I have no idea how to fix it, I feel like the path to the file is wrong, but I don't see anything wrong with it. If anyone has any idea on how to fix this error, it would be greatly appreciated.

A thing that worked with me (having tortoise) was deleting the .project file then importing it again

If you are getting this error after stash your changes with checking include untracked files then you have to follow below steps to solve the issue.

  1. Go to your project root folder.
  2. run git stash list. You will see your stash changes with given name.
  3. Now apply those stash changes by running git stash apply stash@{0} where stash@{0} is having your stash changes.
  4. Now you will be able to open your project.

Thanks.

Delete your .project file in root project and in your subprojects, then right click on project folder -> delete (not deleting it from disk). Reimport your project, then, be happy!

If the .project file is in the expected location, try checking the case. On case sensitive systems (not Windows) a difference in case between the project name and the folder name may be the cause.

Most probably you have lost the .project file during the transaction process.

Not really an elegant solution, but what you could do is create a new project in Eclipse and copy the files from your storage to the newly created project (which would have the .project file).
