Hi @aemnewbie ,

IntelliJ vault plugin is not working with IJ 2020 versions. Refer [1] for issue details.

Meanwhile you could see if you want to downgrade to 2019.3 to make it work temporarily or the recommendation would be to switch to the repo tool [2].

Have you set the property in intellij. Please check the below thread. Seems like setting the intellij property fixed the issue.

Try using lower version of IntelliJ, or use the 3.1.16 version of the filevault to pull code from crx.
I am currently using ths combination of IntelliJ 2018.3.4 and vault-cli-3.1.6.
It works absolutely great with AEM 6.5.5 and archetype 22.
