Hello,

This tutorial:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2017.2/getting-started-with-sbt.html?utm_content=2017.2&utm_medium=help_link&utm_source=from_product&utm_campaign=IC#import_project

has a screenshot where one can set "Create directories for empty content root automatically" flag when creating or importing an SBT project. I am importing an sbt project in IntellijCE 2017.2.1 and that flag is gone from the UI (see screenshot below). The source directories are not auto-created anymore. I was not able to find a preferences flag to create the either. I have a multi-module sbt project, if it matters. Please, advice how to make it work.

 

Thanks,

Timur

Hello. Yes, this option was intentionally removed. Doc will be updated soon. Does produce any side effect in your case?

I would still like src/[main|test|it]/scala, src/[main|test|it]/java and src/[main|test|it]/resources to be autocreated when an sbt project or module is created. I think it was a useful feature. It was not visible to git (since empty dirs are not checked in), so dod not create any noise in the source, but having them ready locally was a convenience.

Thanks,

Timur
