How to make gradle / intellij / play framework work together?

Question

Here is a Gradle build as advised here for using play web framework.

plugins {
  id 'play'
  id 'idea'
}

repositories {
  jcenter()
  maven {
    name "typesafe-maven-release"
    url "https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/maven-releases"
  }
  ivy {
    name "typesafe-ivy-release"
    url "https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases"
    layout "ivy"
  }
}

It works fine when building, launching etc... from command line but once the project is imported in intellij (idea's project files generated with gradle idea), dependencies (from the play plugin) don't show up in the project view/external libraries (even after having hit "refresh all gradle projects" in the gradle panel).

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Answer found here. Apparently the gradle idea plugin needs to be told explicitely how to wire the dependencies.

To sum up :

1. Create a typical play layout
2. Add a build.gradle (as below)
3. Type gradle idea to generate idea's project files

4. Open the project in intellij

   plugins {
       id 'play'
       id 'idea'
   }
   
   repositories {
       jcenter()
       maven {
           name "typesafe-maven-release"
           url "https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/maven-releases"
       }
       ivy {
           name "typesafe-ivy-release"
           url "https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases"
           layout "ivy"
       }
   }  
   
   idea {
       module {
           sourceDirs += file("app")
           testSourceDirs += file("test")
           scopes.COMPILE = [plus: [configurations.play], minus: []]
           scopes.RUNTIME = [plus: [configurations.playRun], minus:[configurations.play]]
           scopes.TEST = [plus: [configurations.playTest], minus: [configurations.playRun]]
        }
   }
   

PS: tested with intellij 15.0.2 / gradle 2.10 / gradle play plugin
