IntelliJ

IntelliJ is a fine development environment for working on the Firrtl repo. This page is a good place to put tips and tricks associated with that.

Problem: IntelliJ reports compile error when trying to run or debug.

There is a known problem where IntelliJ errors during compilation complaining about file like FIRRTLParser.java So far the following hack seems to get around the problem.

1. In the Project window right click on target/scala-2.11/src_managed/main
2. Move the cursor way down the list to Mark Directory As, where a sub-menu pane pops out
3. Select Unmark as Sources Root

This problem may re-occur whenever the sbt file is changed and the sbt settings are re-imported. The same fix above should clear it up

If you have a better solution to this problem please post it.
