I’ve setup my Play Framework 1.2.1 project to run from within IntelliJ using the instructions from the following post on Google groups:

http://groups.google.com/group/play-framework/msg/54cfe212cbae218e

However, following the tutorial at http://www.playframework.org/documentation/1.2.2/guide8, I’m getting the following error from the IDE:

/Library/WebServer/Documents/devschool.play/app/controllers/Security.java
package Secure does not exist
/Library/WebServer/Documents/devschool.play/app/controllers/Application.java
cannot find symbol class Secure

When I run the application with > play run, everything works fine, but I prefer running it from the IDE. Please note that the project was running perfectly from the IDE before I added the secure module.

Is there a way to fix this? I have a hunch it’s to do with an external source, but not being a Java expert, I’m not entirely sure how to do this.

Can anyone please assist?

    Okay, so the project is compiling and running okay after unchecking the “Make” checkbox from the Edit Configurations dialog box.

    To get the IDE to find the code, you simply need to Attach Sources. On the Mac, press Command + ; and add the sources under the Libraries section.
