Hey guys, since I couldn't find anything on the web I thought I might ask you guys:
I get the same error in every single spring project I create:

<build>
        <sourceDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/kotlin</sourceDirectory>
        <testSourceDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/test/kotlin</testSourceDirectory>

Cannot resolve directory '$'{'project.basedir}'
I guess it's something with my configuration but I just can't point the finger at it. Any ideas? Thanks ahead!

'$'{'project.basedir}'

are there 4 ' characters?
i suspect there might be hidden characters...
i’d try to retype it from scratch
unless you overwrote it

[Philipp Mayer]

no, theres only ${project.basedir}/src/main/kotlin . no ' at all. 😞
Some kind of configuration must be broken on my side, because it happens in every Spring project. If I create an empty one and check the pom everything is set as in my pom.xml. Really not sure what's broken there.

[nfrankel]

me neither...
can you to build through the command-line?
mvn compile

[Philipp Mayer]

Building is working completely fine, IntelliJ just throws an error at me when I'm in that file or when I want to commit something. Especially the latter is pretty annoying.

[nfrankel]

it obviously not kotlin-related
i’m afraid it’s not the right place to look for support
i’d suggest to fill in a bug in intellij

[Philipp Mayer]

Yeah, you're probably right!
