Nothing can be resolved in build.sbt and plugins.sbt - scala

I have set up a Scala SBT project in Intellij.
However, nothing in build.sbt and plugins.sbt is resolved.
The project structure looks like this:
build.sbt for instance looks like this:
Why is this occuring?

I have seen IntelliJ choke on sbt projects and just drawing everything in red. I don't know what triggered that, but in those cases, I
quit IntelliJ
deleted the .idea project folder
created a fresh project from the sbt build
Then it always resolved this. In the latest version of the IntelliJ plugin, two projects are created per sbt build, like myname and myname-build. The second one is the sbt build if I'm not mistaken, and you must make sure that both are checked when importing the project in IntelliJ.

Inside IDE(IntelliJ), could not find sbt dependies from External Libraries

I am starting a Scala project and I'm using SBT and Intellij 2020.2.3 as my IDE.
I have the following build.sbt file from the project, but I can't seem to get the dependencies in the Idea IDE "External Libraries" section to show up in "libraryDependencies" of SBT after running "sbt update".
The Idea version is that:
The Idea External Libraies are that:
The Sbt libraryDependencies are that:
In my experience , Intellij is very slow to pickup on dependencies and display them.
Bare in mind this is not a reflection on sbt , and asides for the annoyance, you should still be able to sbt compile from the console.
That is the first thing I suggest you test. If you can compile , that means the dependencies were downloaded, are available on the classpath, and its just a matter of getting Intellij to recognize that
You can try one of 2 things, hover over the dependencies in your build.sbt file and you might see a refresh project option , or you can go to module section in project settings and reimport

sbteclipse not adding generated source folders to java build path?

I ran sbt eclipse on a Scala Project and when I imported it into Scala IDE(4.0.0 RC2), it gave me a type not found error as the types referred to were actually auto-generated code which were at target/scala-2_10/src_managed/main/compiled_avro/org/... I was able to do a sbt compile at the console though.
I got it to compile by adding the above folder to the Java Build Path.
My question is that since sbt eclipse can already detect Java Projects which the current project depends on and since sbt compile works at the console, should sbt eclipse be able to figure out dependencies to source folders of generated code as well? or maybe such a feature exists and I just don't know about it?
This may not be the correct way of doing things but to fix the issue i did the following.
sbt avro:compile
sbt compile
sbt eclipse
In eclipse i right clicked on target/scala-*/src_managed/main/compiled_avro > build path > use as source folder
The sbteclipse way:
Edit your project or global build.sbt file. My global ~/.sbt/0.13/build.sbt contains:
import com.typesafe.sbteclipse.plugin.EclipsePlugin._
EclipseKeys.createSrc := EclipseCreateSrc.Default + EclipseCreateSrc.Managed
I'm using an older version of _sbteclipse, version 2.5.0 (various non-relevant reasons), which seems to require both the import and a single blank link between each line of real content (this drives me a bit crazy, yes). I don't believe the import is required for newer versions of sbteclipse.
sbt clean avro:compile compile
sbt eclipse

Intellij 13.1.3 import project from sbt not working

I have followed the instructions , attempting to either import from build.sbt or open project from build.sbt.
The end result is that the scala libraries are not imported as shown in the screenshot.
I have also tried sbt gen-idea from the command line.
This is just a problem that keeps surfacing..
If you are using Intellij, why don't you create scala sbt project? Then just add the libraries in the build.sbt and refresh the project or re-run the sbt gen-idea. The libraries will appear. See this link:
http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IntelliJIDEA/Getting+Started+with+SBT
I STILL have not figured out what the "magic" sequence of actions to follow in order to have a reliable sbt build.
This time around the following worked:
TWICE running
sbt gen-idea
and then import'ing the build.sbt as a new scala project
What did not work
Import project from build.sbt (without sbt gen-idea)
Open project from build.sbt (ditto)
Open build.sbt from Explorer (selecting IJ to open it)

sbt eclipse command changed files and packages

I created a new Scala project in eclipse then added a package and Scala object ,
So far so good ...
i want to add external library so i added a project folder with build.properties plugins.sbt files,and another file build.sbt in the root project.
in the terminal i compiled successfully the project with the sbt compile task.
the problem is that after sbt eclipse command the eclipse project changed from Scala project to something else.... all the packages changed to simple folders and the Scala project is ruined
scala IDE :Build id: 3.0.3-20140327-1716-Typesafe
scala version :2.10.4
sbt version:0.13.0
you can see in the image
Where did you get the eclipse command from? I'm guessing you're using sbteclipse.

If I understand correctly, this is exactly the opposite of what the plugin is intended to do. I think you're suppose to create a plain sbt project, and then let the plugin generate the Eclipse project.

Editing Build.scala in Intellij

I want to migrate our build from maven to SBT, so now I work separatedly on Build.scala file. However I don't benefit from any syntax highlighting (that is quite obvious, I don't have SBT in my classpath). What is the correct way to get SBT to my classpath, adding sbt-launch.jar does not seem to help.
IntelliJ 13 has built-in SBT support; if you're running a lower version, then you can have a look at their sbt plugin.
There's also an sbt plugin on github for generating idea project files. I've had success with running the gen-idea task it provides.
Run sbt gen-idea. It will create a "YOUR_PROJECT_NAME - build" project within your main project (for whatever your YOUR_PROJECT_NAME happens to be). Under the project folder of the build project, I was able to write a Build.scala with the following code:
import sbt._
object Build extends Build {
}
The SBT Build trait is recognized just fine. I'm running IntelliJ 13 build #IU-133-696, Scala plugin 0.30.378.
Eventually what I did is finished to write my build.sbt stub, and opened a project with it. Now everything seem to work.
