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?

Same problem

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

Be nice if they would update this outdated track..

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

Thanks Ben!
