I have simple problem. I installed idea and scala plugin.
Create project and add wants to run simple println(\"Hello world!\")
.
I create \"scala script\". A
I have just installed idea + scala plugin and had the same error on running my 1st "hello, world".
I solved it with Run -> Edit Configurations... -> select the script run configuration -> untick "Make" under "Before launch"
According to Getting Started with IntelliJ IDEA Scala Plugin:
You can also turn your Scala object into a script. Just remove all declarations from the file, leave the executable statement only - println("Hello, World!"), and run the script as described above.
However I confirm that it results with the same error as you quoted. I think this is a bug (or inaccurate documentaion), file a bug, Jetbrains guys are developing this plugin very actively.
