Output path is shared between the same module error

Question

When I try to compile any class in my project I get the error below:

Error scala: Output path .../eval/target/test-classes is shared between: Module 'eval' tests, Module 'eval' tests
      Output path .../eval/target/classes is shared between: Module 'eval' production, Module 'eval' production
      Please configure separate output paths to proceed with the compilation.

I've seen how to set the output path in IDEA and I've done it. But as the error claims that it is shared between the same module I couldn't solve it.

Obs.: Using Maven and IntelliJ IDEA.

Please, can anyone help?

Answer 1

all you need to do is:

• synchronize both modules (right click > Synchronize)
• re-import pom.xml for both modules (right click > Maven > Re Import)

Enjoy

Answer 2

Set up the output paths for your modules to different directories, as explained here: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/help/configuring-module-compiler-output.html

On Project "Open Module Settings" -> Modules -> Paths -> Output/Test path

Answer 3

I resolved this by selecting "Inherit project compile output path" in the Project Structure settings window.
