I created a new project and working with eclipse (used eclipsify
command).
basically, I moved the app
directory from an old project to the new one I created.
the problem is that eclipse doesn't recognize the views. I get errors like:
views.html.viewTopic cannot be resolved to a type
I tried to play compile
but it didn't help.
so I got 40 errors. all of them connected to the fact that the views aren't compiled and therefore, the eclipse doesn't recognize them (my guess of course).
what can I do?
by the way, the old project compiled and ran without a problem (I used intellij)
The best you can do is just search the Stack Overflow as this topic was discussed really many times.
- Playframework - Eclipse can't detect a new template
- How to make Eclipse see the changes in Play! compiled templates?
- scala code causes error in eclipse for playframework-2.0
- etc, etc...
For Java Play Framework v2.4.6 (activator v1.3.7) with Eclipse Mars:
So that you will not have a "can not resolve error" with your viewTopic.render()
, you can add this <classpathentry kind="lib" path="target/scala-2.11/classes"/>
to your .classpath
or right-click on your project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Add Class Folder and make it point to target/scala-2.11/classes
.
Re-run the command in play console with the sources this time:
$ eclipse with-source=true
And then go to eclipse and clean your project and build all
According to jetbrains, the issue with templates is fixed. If you have play 2 generated source sources included in the IDEA project then you should exclude this folder from the project
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/configuring-folders-within-a-content-root.html
and do File | Invalidate caches and restart.
If you have an SBT project, open it in IDEA via File | Import Project | Sbt type project
Make sure to use the latest Scala and Play 2 plugins.
