How do I get the same directory structure?

I have a newer version of IntelliJ and when I create the project there is no option "Create directories for empty content roots automatically". What can I do to follow along?

I'm having the same issue as well...probably because of using a newer version of IntelliJ

Hey Dennis!

Looks like they moved that setting on us. You'll need to go into Gradle settings and set it there:

  • Use CTRL+SHIFT+A to bring up the Action Search menu and type 'gradle'.
  • Choose the option that says 'Gradle' on the left and 'Settings' on the right.
  • Check the box for 'Create directories for empty content roots automatically' and hit OK.

Hope that helps!

Ben
