Fixed by creating project folder which contains file which I have opened. But I think it's better to provide some user friendly message in such case even if it's really required to have a project (honestly, I think it would be better to support single-file mode also).

This is IMO a bug. Any file that is opened in atom but is not in your current project (like editing your own stylesheet) causes all symbols to fail.
