Cannot locate source code

24-May-2024

Use the Directories page to help winIDEA locate (or share) the source code referenced in Symbol Files. This is necessary to allow source-level debugging.


Possible scenarios

You can locate files:

  • From View | Symbols
  • From an open Editor document
  • If the original path to the source files is known
  • If the original path to the source files is unknown
  • Use relative paths to make the workspace configuration portable

Refer to winIDEA Help Locating or sharing the source code chapter for a detailed how-to.
