No project associated with editor

Error message

No project associated with editor

What it means

Raised in session.rs start_kernel() for KernelSpecification::SshRemote: the editor's weak handle was gone or the editor has no project, and an SshRunningKernel needs the project to connect. The SSH kernel cannot be started in this state.
