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

I hit similar issue but found it's related to waiting for locks

• ~/.sbt/tool/sbt.boot.lock
• ~/.ivy2/.sbt.ivy.lock

Maybe if killing IntelliJ IDEA and no one will release the lock files, the issue is resolved after deleting locks files manually
