How to run playframework sample in Intelllij 13? - scala

I am using Intellij 13 Ultimate and want to create a Play Framework sample. But I am unable to build this project because it always throws this error:
object index is not a member of package views.html
Ok(views.html.index("Your new application is ready."))
I have tried this on both Mac and Windows platforms, but the error is always the same.
How can I solve this?

The generation works just fine and all the paths are correctly added to the build. However the routes are not (yet) compiled by the plugins (scala+playframework), thus the reverse routing classes generated by play are not available for intellij.
You will have the same problem with the templates.
If you run a play compile (or a sbt compile), the classes will be generated and intellij should be able to pick them up and compile your project.

I found a trick here.
If you generate the play-scala project using activator command line activator [new my_first_project play-scala]. You'll get the following sbt build file.
name := """my_first_project"""
version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayScala)
scalaVersion := "2.11.7"
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
jdbc,
cache,
ws,
"org.scalatestplus.play" %% "scalatestplus-play" % "1.5.1" % Test
)
resolvers += "scalaz-bintray" at "http://dl.bintray.com/scalaz/releases"
But IF you create a project from intellj using NewProject->Scala-Play 2.x, you will get the following sbt.
name := "my_second_project"
version := "1.0"
lazy val `my_second_project` = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayScala)
scalaVersion := "2.11.7"
libraryDependencies ++= Seq( jdbc , cache , ws , specs2 % Test )
unmanagedResourceDirectories in Test <+= baseDirectory ( _ /"target/web/public/test" )
resolvers += "scalaz-bintray" at "https://dl.bintray.com/scalaz/releases"
fork in run := false
after combine them. Ignore the name. And I set for in run to false
name := "my_second_project"
version := "1.0"
lazy val `my_second_project` = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayScala)
scalaVersion := "2.11.7"
libraryDependencies ++= Seq( jdbc , cache , ws , specs2 % Test )
unmanagedResourceDirectories in Test <+= baseDirectory ( _ /"target/web/public/test" )
resolvers += "scalaz-bintray" at "https://dl.bintray.com/scalaz/releases"
fork in run := false
After doing that. Open the activator-generated project with Intellj, configure a run with Play 2.x run. Everything goes well.
By the way, if you open the activator-generated project before you change the sbt file. You might need to rm -r .idea
Hope that helps.

Running "play idea" in the new project root fixed it for me. The project should compile and run after reloading.
I only have this problem with projects created through Idea's New Project menu.

I have the same problem: in Idea 13 there are highlight errors there, but in Idea 12 everything is ok. The reason is that there is no Scala plugin for Idea 13, so for now it's impossible to get it to work in Idea 13.
The solution is to install Idea 12, go to Preferences -> Plugins, type "Scala" in find box, and install Scala plugin.

How to add Google ML Kit dependency to SBT project?

When adding the Google ML Kit dependency to our SBT project, it successfully compiles, yet it cannot resolve imports to the com.google.mlkit package.
Here is a sample build.sbt file, using barcode-scanning as an example:
ThisBuild / version := "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
ThisBuild / scalaVersion := "2.13.8"
lazy val root = (project in file("."))
.settings(
name := "test-google-mlkit"
)
resolvers += "Google Maven" at "https://maven.google.com/"
libraryDependencies += "com.google.mlkit" % "barcode-scanning" % "17.0.2" // % "runtime"
This successfully compiles, but we cannot resolve an import to com.google.mlkit, with or without the "runtime" flag (as indicated on the maven repo).
object mlkit is not a member of package com.google
Is it possible to use Google's ML Kit in a Scala project? What are we missing? Any help is appreciated.
To solve the import problem just change the resolvers to:
resolvers += "google repository" at "https://dl.google.com/android/maven2"

Can I create a proto jar for scalaVersion 2.11/2.12 and use it within the same sbt under different sub-project?

I have a set of .proto files (protobuf) which I generate java from using scalapb. I also have in the same sbt 2 sub-projects, one is scalaVersion 2.11 compatible (can't upgrade it to 2.12 due to missing packages) and the other one is scala 2.12.
I created a sub-project to hold my proto, and by default 2.12 is used and my 2.12 sub-project can use it, but my 2.11 can't.
I set the crossScalaVersions to 2.11/2.12, I compiled my project with both, which passed, but then even then I was unable to get the 2.11 sub-project to find that code.
I am "wondering" if that is something supported, or if there is a track I could use a single location to hold my .proto yet have my 2 sub-projects using the same sbt file use those.
lazy val scala212 = "2.12.13"
lazy val scala211 = "2.11.12"
lazy val supportedScalaVersion = List(scala212, scala211)
ThisBuild / scalaVersion := scala212
lazy val root = (project in file("."))
.aggregate(proto, subproject1, subproject2)
.settigns(
crossScalaVersions := Nil,
publish / skip := true
)
lazy val proto = project
.settings(
crossScalaVersions := supportedScalaVersions,
name := "proto",
libraryDependencies += "com.trueaccord.scalapb" %% "scalapb-runtime" % com.trueaccord.scalapb.compiler.Version.scalapbVersion % "protobuf",
PB.targets in Compile := Seq(
scalapb.gen(grpc = false) -> (sourceManaged in Compile).value / "protobuf"
)
)
lazy val subproject1 = project
.dependsOn(proto)
lazy val subproject2 = project
.settings(
scalaVersion := scala211
)
.dependsOn(proto)
So, from the above, if I do sbt "+ proto" I can compile both versions. If I do sbt subproject1/compile it works too. Using sbt subproject2/compile fails indicating that it cannot find the 2.11:proto jar file.
Either, I would like the above somehow to work nicely, or any other trick that I could generate the code from the same proto location but within subproject1/subproject2 would be appreciated.
You could try the sbt-projectmatrix plugin:
https://github.com/sbt/sbt-projectmatrix
The idea is to have separate sbt subprojects for the different Scala versions, so you can simply reference the relevant subproject when calling dependsOn.
I think this plugin is going to end up in sbt some day as it's a much better solution in general than the current built-in stateful cross compilation support, and it's developed by Eugene Yokota, who is also an sbt developer.

How to clear sbt cache?

I'm using sbt 1.3.9 and I need to update some libraries that have changed its code but the version stays the same. When I tried to run sbt update command nothing happened the library not downloaded.
I have sbt.build file that looks like the following:
name := """project name"""
organization := "com.example"
version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayJava)
lazy val usr = sys.env("MVN_USER")
scalaVersion := "2.13.1"
javacOptions ++= Seq("-source", "11", "-target", "11")
resolvers ++= Seq(
"Jfrog Artifacts".at("https://artifactory.jfrog.com/")
)
credentials += Credentials(
...
)
updateOptions := updateOptions.value.withCachedResolution(false)
updateOptions := updateOptions.value.withLatestSnapshots(false)
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
guice,
javaWs,
ehcache,
"com.google.api-client" % "google-api-client" % "1.30.7",
"org.apache.commons" % "commons-lang3" % "3.9",
"redis.clients" % "jedis" % "3.2.0"
)
how can I clear sbt cache?
You can just delete the v1 folder.
The default cache location is platform-dependent:
on Linux, ~/.cache/coursier/v1. This also applies to Linux-based CI
environments, and FreeBSD too.
on OS X, ~/Library/Caches/Coursier/v1.
on Windows, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Coursier\Cache\v1, which, for user Alex,
typically corresponds to
C:\Users\Alex\AppData\Local\Coursier\Cache\v1.
I assuming that you are developing something locally and doing publishLocal - normal repository wouldn't let you override published dependency and snapshots are not cached (sbt checks if newer appeared every time you need to build sth).
In such case start using snapshot versions for the future and/or go to ~/.ivy2/your.organisation/library_scalaVersion and remove whole directory with "bad" version. If library is fetched by Maven (with sbt, unlikely these days) it the same idea but with ~/.m2.
I had experienced this while using IntelliJ. After closing IntelliJ, I used to clear .idea from project folder and reimport project into IntelliJ was helping me.
You can use PrettyClean to clean the all of dev tools caches including SBT.
PrettyClean also cleans the SBT project's target folder.

Scala libraries incompatibility

akka-actor_2.13-2.5.23.jar of play-scala-seed build path is cross-compiled with an incompatible version of Scala (2.13.0). In case this report is mistaken, this check can be disabled in the compiler preference page.
I have many errors of this type in my scala project. How do I resolve such errors?
I am using Scala IDE.
build.sbt:
name := """play-scala-seed"""
organization := "com.example"
version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(PlayScala)
scalaVersion := "2.13.0"
libraryDependencies += guice
libraryDependencies += "org.scalatestplus.play" %% "scalatestplus-play" % "4.0.3" % Test
// Adds additional packages into Twirl
//TwirlKeys.templateImports += "com.example.controllers._"
// Adds additional packages into conf/routes
// play.sbt.routes.RoutesKeys.routesImport += "com.example.binders._"
I guess I need to change Scala installation to 2.13, right? ( I am referring to the Scala installation option that shows up in the project properties after right clicking on the project in the IDE )
But, the only options available in the dropdown are 2.10,2.11 and 2.12. How do I add 2.13 into my IDE?
The solutions in similar questions did not work for me.

Using IntelliJ, how to add dependency in an sbt project

I'm new to sbt and I wanted to learn it with a small Scala project in IntelliJ.
I started with the official sbt Getting Started guide, to learn the sbt basics on the console (https://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/sbt-by-example.html). Following the guide, everything compiles fine.
Then I created an sbt project in IntelliJ, trying to do the same thing there. When I add the org.scalatest depenpency to the build.sbt file the project can no longer compile. The error message is:
module not found: org.scalatest#scalatest_2.13;3.0.5
When I created the fresh sbt project in IntelliJ, first the build.sbt looked something like this:
name := "sbtTest"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.13.0"
Then I added the dependency:
name := "sbtTest"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.13.0"
libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "3.0.5" % Test
After reloading the build file and getting the error when compiling, I tried to change the biuld.sbt according to the code which already worked in the sbt Getting Started guide:
ThisBuild / scalaVersion := "2.13.0"
ThisBuild / organization := "me"
ThisBuild / version := "1.0"
lazy val sbtTest = (project in file("."))
.settings(
name := "sbtTest",
libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "3.0.5" % Test
)
This has again the same error after reloading and compiling.
My sbt version is 1.2.8.
Is something wrong with my build.sbt? Or is the sbt version too new for IntelliJ? Is IntelliJ probably not the recommended IDE to create Sala sbt projects?
Structure of both your build.sbt is ok. The thing seems to be in versions.
Scalatest 3.0.5 is currently unavailable for Scala 2.13.0. It's available for Scala 2.13.0-M2.
It's Scalatest 3.0.8 that is available for Scala 2.13.0.
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.scalatest/scalatest
After you fix versions in build.sbt re-import IntelliJ project in pop-up window
or in sbt tool window
or in sbt shell
