Webstorm: "Cannot Resolve Directory"
To make file references to a non-root folder in your project, you'll need to mark that directory as a Resource. To do this, go to Settings > Directories and select your asset root folder from the right-hand panel. Then mark it as Resource Root by clicking the button above the file browser.
From the Jetbrains documentation, a Resource Root enables WebStorm to complete relative paths to resources under the selected folder. This means that you should use Resource Root on a folder that holds all the resources you would like to refer to (e.g. styles, scripts, ...).
I had this problem on Mac and solved it by changing the directories properties.
- Open Preferences:
Webstorm > Preferences
- Go to Directories section in the Preferences
Project > Directories
- Add content root and Resource roots
