Using Intellij with trading app

[westernsam]

Hi,

Thanks for creating this book and project. I really enjoyed pfps and I'm excited to dig around trading app.

I prefer using intellij idea. Unfortunately due to a long standing issue with intellij's dependency model it can't generate a project from the trading app sbt definition. The issue is that intellij doesn't support compile->test in a multi-project configuration.

I have worked round this by moving generators to src and making scalacheck a compile rather than test library. Is there another approach that might be cleaner?

I think quite a lot of developers use scala with intellij so it would be good if trading app worked in intellij without modification.

Thanks again,
Sam

Hi @westernsam ,

Thanks for starting the discussion!

I believe that setting is required only by feed? If so, you can remove it from the aggregation to work around the issue.

However, have you tried using IntelliJ with BSP support? I hear it's working great right now and this should be supported. My fellow Igal wrote a blog post about it sometime ago: https://hmemcpy.com/2021/09/bsp-and-intellij/

Let me know how that goes,
Cheers.

Hi,

BSP works perfectly out of the box, so definitely the way to go. Thanks for the response and suggestion.

Cheers,
