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

What worked for me was to increase the memory for SBT inside IntelliJ. On my Mac: preference -> Build, Execution, Depoyment -> sbt then change "Maximum heap size" from 768MB to 2048MB and then everything was successfully imported after few minutes.
