Impossible to unignore vendor folder

Prerequisites

• Plugin is in the latest version
• Issue was not reported yet
• Stack trace (if provided) contains mobi.hsz.idea.gitignore package name

Description

Plugin kept marking my vendor folder as ignored no matter what I do, only solution was to uninstall the plugin.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a project that uses composer containing a vendor folder
2. Install the .ignore plugin
3. Search for a way to unignore the vendor folder

Expected behavior: When I remove the automatically-added directories inside the vendor folder in the settings, I expect the vendor folder to not be ignored anymore. It is not in any other ignore file inside the project.

Actual behavior: Even after restart of phpStorm, all files and folders inside the vendor folder remain ignored.

Reproduces how often: 100%.

Versions

Plugin: 2.6. something - it’s uninstalled now. Was the latest version at the time.

I know this comment is super late, and may not apply…but who knows. I found a bug in one of my repos where every single folder called “vendor” was ignored. Unfortunately, some of those “vendor” folders were apart of plugins and needed to be present in deployments.

I changed vendor to /vendor in my project root .gitignore, but could never add the vendor folders in other parts of the tree.

And then I discovered that at some point in my life, I added vendor to my ~/.gitignore_global file.

May just help someone who made the same mistake.
