IntelliJ Scala cannot build a simple project (SBT can) - scala

Question

I installed IntelliJ idea community edition 14.1.3 on my windows 7 machine.
I created a simple sbt project where the build.sbt file looks like
name := "SlickTest"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.11.6"
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.typesafe.slick" %% "slick" % "3.0.0-RC3",
"org.slf4j" % "slf4j-nop" % "1.6.4",
"com.typesafe" % "config" % "1.0.2"
)
Now I wrote a simple class
import com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory
object Foo {
def main(args : Array[String]): Unit = {
println("foo")
val conf = ConfigFactory.load()
val foo = conf.getString("derby.url")
println(foo)
}
}
I created a file called "application.conf" in the resources folder.
derby = {
url = "foo"
}
Now if I go to command line and say sbt clean compile run I can see
D:\myapps\Scala\SlickTest>sbt clean compile run
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256m; support was removed in 8.0

D:\myapps\Scala\SlickTest>
but when I try to build the same project in Intellij idea I see

Does anyone know why can't IntelliJ build the same project when sbt can easily build it.
I searched for couple of could not find output directory threads but they did not help me because unlike others I don't have a capitalization error in my path or project name.

Answer 1

Open Project settings and fill up the input with output path for this project, as on the image below.
