How to best setup a Play / Scala / Intellij project
Hey all. I'm using oracle Play 2.2.1 built with Scala 2.10.2 (running Java 1.7.0_45) on Os X.
I just created a play module in Intellij, right clicked and select Run Tests on the test directory but the results of that is a compile error;
object index is not a member of package views.html
Ok(views.html.index("Your new application is ready."))
^
I assumed that this was just an error in how intellij handles Play and Scala project, so I created a new play project - ran play idea and opened those files. RIght clicked the test directory and got a different error;
Class not found: "ApplicationSpec"
I doubt that this is the normal out of the box experience. Both projects work if I do play test on the cli,
After having run the tests using play test on the command line, I can run the tests fine from the IDE for the project that I created using the play command. The project that intellij created now gives me the following error;
org.specs2.execute.Error$ThrowableException: VerifyError: Cannot inherit from final class
org.specs2.execute.Error$ThrowableException: VerifyError: Cannot inherit from final class

The reason for the the first error is that Idea is not compiling the view. You will find that this needs to be done from a play or sbt "compile" command.
Worse, you need to compile the view from a command line whenever you change the view. I have already raised this in a previous thread, but it has not been acknowledged, I think.

Then you see the second VerifyError.
While I whole-heartedly agree with you that this should not be the "out of the box experience" & that what you describe should work, I thought it might help you to know that another approach may work better.
We always create projects using a "play new", then either an "idea" command or an sbt "gen-idea". Apart from anything else, this helps when it is sometime later necessary to regenerate the project when build.scala is altered.

Even then, I think you have to run the tests once in a play console before you can run them from Idea
I hope this helps.
It's fixed now, and we reupdated plugin to version 0.30.379.

Thanks Alexander
I am mainly working from the nightly, 0.31.491, but I'll await the fix arriving in the nightly too. I can see the view rebuild now works in 0.30.378.
I still see:
org.specs2.execute.Error$ThrowableException: VerifyError: Cannot inherit from final class
In 0.30.378 but maybe 379 fixes that. In any case, that one does not bother me personally.

0.31.496 contains this fix. It's not uploaded yet.
As for Specs error, please report it to our issue tracker with Specs2 version number and probably source example: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues#newissue=yes
