Intellij: "Error running Scala Console: Cannot Start Process"

Question

New install.

Scala SBT project.

Full message is:

Error running Scala Console: Cannot start process, the working directory C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 13.1.4\jre\jre\bin does not exist

It would be nice to have the directory default to somewhere sensible in the current project...I think.

Answer 1

1. From the application menu, selecting Run -> Edit Configurations opens the Run/Debug Configurations dialog.

2. In the left panel of the dialog, pick Defaults -> Scala Console.

3. In the Working Directory textbox, enter ..

It would be great to set this as a default, because the tests also require the same manual settings.
