“sbt launcher does not exist” when attempting to open sbt project in Intellij

Question

Here is an attempt to open an sbt project in Intellij 2016.3 ultimate:

We are greeted with the following friendly notification:

Afa sbt details: I have installed sbt via homebrew and

That path truly does not exist . So I went to Preferences | Build Execution Deployment | SBT Preferences | Build Execution Deployment | SBT Preferences | Build Execution Deployment | SBT to fix the path:

$ll /usr/local/Cellar/sbt/0.13.13/libexec/sbt-launch.jar
-rwxr-xr-x  1 boescst  USWIN\Domain Users  1210231 Oct 28 10:46 /usr/local/Cellar/sbt/0.13.13/libexec/sbt-launch.jar

Let' update the path:

However the same error message still occurs. Is there some other place in Intellij that needs to be updated?

The following happened when trying to import an sbt project:

The following dialog has a Show Logs link but clicking on it does nothing ..

Another update I opened the idea.log manually. It shows basically same information:

I have repeatedly tried changing the sbt launch settings. The error still occurs. Intellij is caching that information somewhere. I've even deleted the .idea and .iml files. Same result. Now I have reinstalled Intellij . Still same issue! What the heck !!!???

对于启动器，在首选项窗口中，选择“捆绑”选项而不是自定义。
