Getting Twirl Compiler To Work With IDEA 14.0.1 ?
I'm using Typesafe's sbt-twirl plugin, like this in my plugins.sbt:
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-twirl" % "1.0.3")
I've set only the sourceDirectories in (Compile, TwirlKeys.compileTemplates) context.
I've also added the plugin to my project with:
.enablePlugins(SbtTwirl)
No love.
This compiles my templates just fine with sbt. But making the project with IDEA fails to compile the templates. Compiling Scala files is fine.
Currently this is causing me to start up an sbt instance in a Terminal window everytime I have to work with Twirl, use that to compile them, and then go back to IDEA for everything else.
So, what's the magic incantation to get this to work?

Twirl compiler is supported only in Play 2.0 projects (in IDEA Ultimate). And this support just refer to SBT. So if you have templates in your project and you need to recompile them, you need to run "sbt compile" from command line. In the future we will support sbt compile for SBT projects as alternative "Make" action, it will fix your problems. Or we will probably support Twirl compiler.

Hi Alexander,
Thanks for the information. As I noted in my bug report on this topic, using "sbt compile" is definitely a work around, but it has the side effect of making both compilation systems start over, which takes time in a large project. For example:
When steps 3 and 4 both recompile everything, it adds minutes to my cycle time. This is an unacceptable delay which is why I filed the bug. IDEA needs to support the Twirl Compiler out of the box like it does many other template processors.
Best,
Reid.
I've hit this too, using Twirl with Akka-Http outside Play. It is slightly simpler than that:
1. Run "sbt twirlCompileTemplates"
2. IntelliJ "Make Project"
but picking up changes automatically would be nice, even if we have to configure the sbt action somewhere in IntelliJ ourselves.
