How to make intellij import scala project with scala 2.11.7 (as per build.sbt)?

Question

I'm having problems with my project which I think are due to intellij pulling in a load of scala 2.10 libraries when it created/if I reimport my project.

How can I configure it to either read the version of scala from build.sbt , or manually configure it to compile with scala 2.11.7? I'm running intellij IDEA 14 with the latest updates and it always uses scala 2.10.4.

Answer 1

Make sure you have your Scala Version set in your build.sbt

scalaVersion := "2.11.7"

The rest works seemlessly. Enable "Auto-Import" in IDEA when creating the project.

Answer 2

The 2.10 libraries are used by SBT itself. If you check the Dependencies tab for your modules, you shouldn't see them. If you do, you likely have an error in libraryDependencies in build.sbt .
