Configuration Error: deployment source '(projectname): war exploded' is not valid

Question

I have a project that runs Spring and I am using IntelliJ as the compiler. I started building the project in Ubuntu but I was having problems viewing my database edits so I switched to Windows and lost my Ubuntu partition (due to some other unrelated error). I am trying to reset up my project in Windows but I can't get it to compile properly.

I have tried redownloading IntelliJ, restarting my computer, clean installing maven, and searching everywhere for a solution. I found a link on IntelliJ's website but they never actually address a solution to the problem ( http://devnet.jetbrains.com/thread/436515 ). I started to try the unfinished advice to "remove all artifacts selected for deployment from the list and then add them again" but I cannot figure out how to add them again once deleted.

Additionally, I keep seeing the error "Configuration Error: deployment source '(projectname): war exploded' is not valid"

Any advice or tips to what I could try or am doing wrong would be great.

Thanks!

Answer 1

This will happen when you remove an artifact that is already set in the configuration. You can see the artifact is red in the configuration:

To solve it, just removed the missing one and add another valid artifact.

Answer 2

Edit Configurations - deployment add your artifacts.
