IntelliJ Cannot Import sbt Project

Question

I have upgraded IntelliJ to version CE 2017.3 from a CE 2017.2.5, and now I cannot build my sbt project. The build gets stuck on the first step:

\"Build: sync
           


        

Answer 1

The only way I could work around this was by running sbt clean compile in the SBT console/cmd line first, then refreshing the SBT project in IntelliJ.
