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

After a series of struggles, I must say something weird solved this problem – moving to IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. That has built in Play application support and can run/debug/test the application out of the box, which is very handy.

All I can say after this experience was that JetBrains wants you to upgrade to Ultimate if you want things to work right out of the box.

I'm sure there are ways to get this working with CE also, but I wasn't successful with that.
