Answer 1

I found a workaround for myself. Share with you in case you might need it like me.

Project Property - Include Path - Add the location of the containing folder where it doesn't work/isn't loaded.

I had the same problem with Netbeans 8.0.2.

Clearing the cache had no effect then I noticed the syntax coloring was not working either. The issue was the abbreviated comment tag was not recognized <? and when I changed it to <?php then syntax coloring and Ctrl-B worked again.

Answer 5

As suggested by Nam, it is cache related. So another approach could be to delete the cache:

1. Close NetBeans
2. Delete cache folder (by default, on Linux it is located in /home/USER/.cache/netbeans)
3. Open the project and wait for the scanning project task to finish.

Answer 6

In windows system, we cannot see the AppData folder directly. So we need to browse the below given path to delete the Netbeans cache: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\NetBeans Delete the cache folder. If it still doesn't work then delete the sub-folders inside C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.2\var Then reopen your netbeans and let it scan projects.
