No 'scala-library*.jar' in every new IntelliJ Scala Project

Question

I have installed intelliJ-IDEA 2017.2.5 with scala plugin on Ubuntu 16.04LTS. When I create new scala project and try to run it I get:

Error:scalac: No 'scala-library*.jar' in Scala compiler classpath in Scala SDK SBT: org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.12.4:jar

I can fix it by going to Project Structure > Libraries, deleting libraries and adding them again.

Is there a way to change default library so I don't have to do this every time I create new project?

Answer 1

If you are using sbt 1.0.2, this problem might be due to a bug in sbt. A fix is expected for sbt 1.0.3.

Related issues:

• https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/3560

Possible workarounds:

• configure Scala version 2.12.3
• OR downgrade to sbt 0.13.16

Answer 2

Select checkbox "Use SBT shell for build and import" in Idea SBT settings. It might help.
