Question

I have an issue when trying to import in scala. The object Database exists under com.me.project.database but when I try to import it:

Answer 1

I will share my story, just in case it may help someone.

Scenario: intellij compilation succeeds, but gradle build fails on import com.foo.Bar, where Bar is a scala class.

TLDR reason: Bar was located under src/main/java/... as opposed to src/main/scala/...

Actual reason: Bar was not being compiled by compileScala gradle task (from gradle scala plugin) because it looks for scala sources only under src//scala.

From docs.gradle.org:

All the Scala source directories can contain Scala and Java code. The Java source directories may only contain Java source code.

Hope this helps
