All files are red under IntelliJ project pane

Question

My project pane in IntelliJ has all files and folder in red color instead of the typical black. I can't find documentation on what does this color mean and how to fix whatever caused it so that it appears black again.

I notice that when I click on these files and folders, then choose Menu->VCS->Mercurial. It asks if I want to add them into source control. These files are already in Mercurial, perhaps this is a Mercurial problem?

Solution 1

Refer to help: File Status Highlights.

Solution 2

This can happen if there is an error with you VCS. To repair this:

1. Navigate to Settings | Version Control
2. Select the mapping(s)
3. Click [-] icon or press Delete to remove the mapping or change the association to None

Ok. That means it is indeed a problem with the Mercurial plugin not recognizing where things are.
