No SyncPlugin present which provides a default workspace type.

I have tries both official plugin from the marketplace and locally built from commit 06c777fa58b00c49fd887279df382f1c41ad49fc with the following command"

bazel build //ijwb:ijwb_bazel_zip --define=ij_product=intellij-ue-2019.3

I see the following exception in the IJ log:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: No SyncPlugin present which provides a default workspace type.

	at com.google.idea.blaze.base.sync.projectview.LanguageSupport.getDefaultWorkspaceType(LanguageSupport.java:47)
   ....... etc (many lines removed)

I put together a detailed error report gist — please take a look if you need more information.

Please help. I am stuck! 🥺

@stefanobaghino-da I agree with you. I wonder what plugin is needed. Ill see if I can try to turn them all.

You were right, the problem is lack of some plugins. Empirically just determined that plugin is JUnit (at least it was a deal breaker for me).

I had the same issue, and removing all configuration and restarting with default plugins solved the problem for me as well.
