Solution

  • Most probably your .idea files are broken, the .iml file and/or modules.xml are either missing or corrupted, so all the project files are treated as non-project. Deleting and re-creating .idea folder should help:

    • close the project
    • remove it from Recent projects list
    • shut down the IDE
    • delete the .idea folder
    • restart, open the project root folder with File > Open
