I am getting a rather strange error when trying to use the IntelliJ built-in sbt-compiler to open projects with sbt
1.4.0 or higher:
Everything works fine for projects configured to use sbt
1.3.x or lower. In this example, I was trying to open the ScalablyTyped Demo project. The same keeps happening with other projects as well. I upgraded my IntelliJ to the Community 2020.2 version and the Scala plugin to version 2020.2.49, but to no avail.
Compiling the projects with the built-in sbt
shell works, so it seems to be a problem of IntelliJ itself. Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
Edit 2:
This seems to be causing the error, but I have yarn installed and can use it in a cli, so that is rather surprising:
* Welcome to ScalablyTyped demos!
*
* For documentation see https://scalablytyped.org .
*
* Note that the first time you import/compile the projects it'll take a while for the dependencies to build
*

Translation:
German: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden
English: The system is unable to locate the file
Edit 3:
I can run the yarn command, when doing it manually:
There is an issue about that in github: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "yarn".
The suggestion there is to add yarn to the path in the environment variables.
If that doesn't help, you can try, as a workaround, to set the path to yarn
here manually. In case someone will read this in the future, and the code will change, you should change the line with the content:
Process("yarn", baseDirectory.value).!
