Scala – No ‘scala-library*.jar’ in every new IntelliJ Scala Project

intellij-ideascala

I have installed intelliJ-IDEA 2017.2.5 with scala plugin on Ubuntu 16.04LTS. When I create new scala project and try to run it I get:

Error:scalac: No 'scala-library*.jar' in Scala compiler classpath in Scala SDK SBT: org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.12.4:jar

I can fix it by going to Project Structure > Libraries, deleting libraries and adding them again.

Is there a way to change default library so I don't have to do this every time I create new project?

If you are using sbt 1.0.2, this problem might be due to a bug in sbt. A fix is expected for sbt 1.0.3.

Possible workarounds:

  • configure Scala version 2.12.3
  • OR downgrade to sbt 0.13.16
