What does the yellow background on filename mean in Intellij?

I think it might have something to do with asynchronous tasks but I don't know for sure. Could someone please clarify this for me?

Also what do the yellow frames mean when you are debugging?

This issue happens sometimes when you revert the first commit of a project in git via pyCharm. Close pyCharm and re-open the project from File -> Open -> select project folder. This worked for me.

As @Framester points out, the project source is missing from the IDE config.

Right clicking on project root you can add that as a Source

Select:

  • Mark Directory As -> Sources Root

The above solution did not work for me -- by happenstance, I was clicking around the settings in Intellij/GoLand and stumbled across a solution that worked for me.

When I went to the Project Structure, the Project Structure pane was empty and there was no way for me to manually re-add my project directory.

Fix that worked for me: Top Menu Bars -> File -> Repair IDE

A bubble window shows up on the bottom right, and I just clicked through the tooltips to repair different aspects of Intellij. In my case, the 'Reindex Project Structure" step worked for me (it was Step 3 of 6 in the repair process).

After repairing + waiting a bit for the project to reindex, everything went back to normal.

This also happened to me and the cause was that the project folder was removed from the 'project structure'. You can re-add it in Settings-> Project <...> -> Project Structure.

Settings-> Project <...> -> Project Structure.

If this suddenly happens to your project:
Consider closing pycharm and deleting the .idea/ folder of that project.

After reopening the project the project, pycharm will detect all files as normal. But you'll need to set up the project again. -> Set source-folder, add run configuration etc.

For me that was the faster solution than figuring out how to fix it.

One more mention: It happened after a merge which caused some version conflicts and required to "roll back" a file.

This color indicates the non-project files (libraries), you can customize it here:

non-project files

Make sure to restart the debugger for the changes to have effect.
