Material-theme-jetbrains: PhpStorm will not load project with Material Theme UI 2.9.0-pre1

[sblomberg]

Summary

Material Theme UI 2.9.0-pre1 results in various exceptions in PhpStorm that prevents any editor windows from opening. Possibly a duplicate of #938 but I am able to enable Material Theme UI - it just prevents me from accessing PhpStorm nearly completely. I can't even load the Preferences window to disable the plugin. In order to disable the plugin I have to remove it from its directory at ~/Library/Application Support/PhpStorm2018.2/Material Theme/

Expected behavior

PhpStorm loads my project (or any project) with Material Theme UI installed.

Actual behavior

Unable to load the project view for any project, existing or new, with Material Theme UI 2.9.0 installed and activated.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install and activate Material Theme UI 2.9.0
2. Restart PhpStorm
3. Select a project from the recent projects sidebar, or choose Create New Project, or Open any folder
   
4. PhpStorm fails to load project. Navigating to PhpStorm -> Preferences... in the task bar also fails to load any content.
   
5. Opening the idea.log file at ~/Library/Logs/PhpStorm2018.2/idea.log produces this output: https://gist.github.com/sblomberg/9d148ede2c38623010beddb433705dd7

I have the same symptoms. PHPStorm fails to get pass the splash/loading screen even though the progress bar is at 100%.

@sblomberg thanks for the tip for removing the plugin.

@mallowigi removing the plugin reminds me how much i appreciate the plugin, keep up the good work.

I'm also having this issue, any ideas on how to downgrade to 2.8.3? The changelog says it's possible to revert but I can't find any documentation on how to do it.

Edit
Solved:

• Download previous version at https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8006-material-theme-ui
• Replace folder at ~/Library/Application Support/PhpStorm2018.2/Material Theme

Having the same problem, downgrading to 2.8.3 seems to have fixed the problem.

@mallowigi What's the resolution on this issue? Is there a new release available that fixes this problem?

[mallowigi]

I think it’s related to the bug that has been plaguing the version 2.9.0.pre. A new version has been released and is fixing this issue as well.
