IntelliJ IDEA: Cannot import SBT project

Question

I\'m completely new to development using Play or IntelliJ for that matter. I\'ve created a simple HelloWorld application using Activator, and this is an sbt pro

Answer 1

I had this error when importing a new module from existing sources.

• On the right-hand side of your IntelliJ window, you will see a list of vertical tabs, open the SBT tab.
• Select the module that's causing trouble, right click on it, select "Detach external project"
• Try to import the module again.
