com.intellij.util.IncorrectOperationException: Cannot modify a read-only directory

See original GitHub issue

Q	A
Bug report?	yes

Description

Working with docker, the vendor directory is mounted from outside the container therefore the directory can probably not be changed (renamed or whatever is attempted).

It is unclear to me why it does this, besides the constant error it is working just fine.

Will do, I must say I haven’t had the issue anymore. But I have also been testing the EAP and now Beta version with the new UI. But yes I’ll vote!

So I have been talking with PhpStorm and unfortunately we cannot do anything here until they make some changes in their code. If you wanna speed it along, then upvoting the issue on YT would be helpful 👍 https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-58509
