Intellij IDEA can not resolve symbol with Play framework

Question

I am using IDEA 13 with Play 2.2.1 and was doing the examples on the play site.

public static Result index() {
   return redirect(routes.Application.tasks())         


        

Answer 1

I had to add the below plugin entry to my plugins.sbt (under projects folder) for intellij IDEA to resolve play variables like routes etc.

addSbtPlugin("com.github.mpeltonen" % "sbt-idea" % "1.6.0")

Note: After adding the above plugin to plugins.sbt, run the below commands to rebuild idea and resolve the issue:

• activator clean
• activator idea
