Is it possible to get an out-of-the-box Gradle setup with Intellij? I'm really struggling with this.

[SackCastellon]

IntelliJ has out-of-the-box support for Gradle projects https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/getting-started-with-gradle.html

It doesn't seem to create the src/ directory structure.

[Gus]

Even with only selecting the Java libraries I only get a directory with build.gradle and settings.gradle

[Gus]

Okay, seems those docs are outdated due to recent changes.

[SackCastellon]

Right-click on the project root then New | Directory then a dialog, to specify the name, will appear, with some suggestions like /src/main/kotlin

[Gus]

yeah that's also removed: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-215574

[Gus]

okay, I think it's because gradle build fails.

[Gus]

Although it doesn't say why...

[Gus]

okay, had to install gradle, create the project, then run gradle wrapper in the project directory
