As described here<\/a>, the proper way to open an existing Rails site in IDEA is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. File -> New Project<\/li>\n
  2. Create project from scratch (Next)<\/li>\n
  3. For “Project files location” choose your Rails application directory, or a parent directory<\/li>\n
  4. Leave “Create module” checked, select “Ruby Module” as the type”, and make sure the “content root” & “module file location” is set to the root of your Rails application (Next)<\/li>\n
