You may have an attached directory that is located outside your project directory. This directory is attached to your project, and the path to this directory is included in the .iml file of your project. However, this path should not be absolute, because the location of this directory may be different on other computers. In this case, you can create the PATH_TO_ATT_DIR variable:
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select .
Click
.In the Add Variable dialog, type the
PATH_TO_ATT_DIRvariable, and its value that points to the directory location on your disk.Share the .iml file through your version control system.
After your teammates update their projects from VCS, they will change the
PATH_TO_ATT_DIRvariable value so that it points to the library location on their computers.
