Play! framework - views aren't compiled?

Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

The best you can do is just search the Stack Overflow as this topic was discussed really many times.

• How to make Eclipse see the changes in Play! compiled templates?
• scala code causes error in eclipse for playframework-2.0
• etc, etc...

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

1. Close eclipse project
2. activator eclipse
3. activator compile
4. Open eclipse project
5. Add target/scala-[your-version-here]/classes to your build path as a class folder

Answer 6

• Run 'play eclipse' on the command line
• In Eclipse, refresh your Project via hitting F5
