" File->Open" does not detect that a project is a bazel project

See original GitHub issue

To help people get started quickly, it’s not uncommon for people to check in .ijwb/.bazelproject files. However, once this is done, there’s no way to actually use this:

“Bazel import project” will complain that the file already exists
“File->Open…” doesn’t detect that this is a bazel project, so the plugin isn’t enabled
“File->Import Project” doesn’t list “Bazel” as an external model.

It seems clunky to check in the project config to a different location and then tell people to point to that.

@mattgodbolt I’m working on a blogpost to demystify some of these: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-blog/pull/200

We’ll probably surface this in documentation soon as well.

The blogpost was written years ago, and I’ve lost the context (and no longer work on the IDE plugin) to make recommendations on this.

@alice-ks Are there documentation for current best practices to sync config directories?
