NullPointerException when attempting to convert project to tern

[mgeorgy]

I'm new to Tern and have followed the installation instructions. After creating a general project, I attempt to convert the project to a tern project from the Project Explorer and receive the follwing error:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2016-07-26 02:38:44.354
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Converting '<project_name>' to tern project...".

I am using Eclipse 4.6 on OS X 10.11.6.

Any ideas what maybe causing this?

Thanks

It seems the location of your project is null? https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/blob/master/eclipse/tern.eclipse.ide.core/src/tern/eclipse/ide/internal/core/resources/IDETernProject.java#L118

Have you created your project in the default location of the workspace?

[mgeorgy]

Thank you. It is working without a problem if my project is created in my workspace. Is there an issue if I wanted to create the project on a remote server using RSE?

[angelozerr]

I have never used RSE. tern.java uses project location, because tern.js need a working directory (file system). I'm not sure if it can work with RSE?
