If your project is Gradle, check Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle -> Build and run section. Ensure that "Build and run using" option is "Gradle".

Intellij IDEA's compiler doesn't copy "resources" to build dir nor to tests classpath. Also, it unexpectedly uses dummy "out" dir instead of "build".

UPDATED: only 1 option "Build and run using" is enough to set to Gradle.
