object of type 'Target' has no field 'intellij_info_files'

I am not sure how this happens, can you give a bit more of the error message?

It sounds like a deeper problem to me.

As requested, the whole error message:

I added some logging to find out which targets don't have the intellij_info_files attribute:

Ah ok make sense, the deps point to a .jar output artifact. The PR is ok to work around but it would be better to have a proper fix in the long time.
