JavaFX Modular Application, java.lang.module.FindException: Module javafx.controls not found (Java 11, Intellij)

Question

I have a problem with my modular JavaFX application. I created a JavaFX project and added the JavaFX lib and JavaFX modules get recognized. However, I keep getting these error message:

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: Module javafx.controls not found

Image for the complete setup is attached hereby:

this is all the errors messages:

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer

I also add the vm options:

but still, i got this error messages.

Since you're running as a Non-Modular application from IntelliJ, you would need to ensure adding the VM argument as :

--module-path /path/to/javafx-sdk-11.0.1/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml

You can follow the documentation link as JavaFX and IntelliJ and then Non-modular from IDE for complete setup details.
