Gradle compile error in the intellij play generated code (not found AbstractController)

I have trouble compile the intellij play generated code with “not found AbstractController” and more. I have no idea what’s going on. Any ideas? Please help. thanks.

Here’s the build.gradle file. I downloaded the latest gradle version. I am not sure if gradle supports the latest version of scala 2.12 and Play 2.6.6? And also should I specify the version in build.gradle?

build.gradle

repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven {
        name "typesafe-maven-release"
        url "https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/maven-releases"
    }
    ivy {
        name "typesafe-ivy-release"
        url "https://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/ivy-releases"
        layout "ivy"
    }
}

apply plugin: "play"
apply plugin: "scala"
apply plugin: "idea"

model {
components {
    play {
        platform play: '2.6.6', scala: '2.12'
        injectedRoutesGenerator = true
    }
}
}

idea {
  module {
    sourceDirs += file("app")
    testSourceDirs += file("test")
    scopes.COMPILE = [plus: [configurations.play], minus: []]
    scopes.RUNTIME = [plus: [configurations.playRun], minus: [configurations.play]]
    scopes.TEST = [plus: [configurations.playTest], minus: [configurations.playRun]]
  }
}

Here’s the AsyncController class generated by Intellij.

package controllers

import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import javax.inject._
import play.api._
import play.api.mvc._
import scala.concurrent.{ExecutionContext, Future, Promise}
import scala.concurrent.duration._

/**
 * This controller creates an `Action` that demonstrates how to write
 * simple asynchronous code in a controller. It uses a timer to
 * asynchronously delay sending a response for 1 second.
 *
 * @param actorSystem We need the `ActorSystem`'s `Scheduler` to
 * run code after a delay.
 * @param exec We need an `ExecutionContext` to execute our
 * asynchronous code.
 */
@Singleton
class AsyncController @Inject()(cc: ControllerComponents, actorSystem: ActorSystem)(implicit exec: ExecutionContext) extends AbstractController(cc) {

  /**
   * Create an Action that returns a plain text message after a delay
   * of 1 second.
   *
   * The configuration in the `routes` file means that this method
   * will be called when the application receives a `GET` request with
   * a path of `/message`.
   */
  def message = Action.async {
    getFutureMessage(1.second).map { msg => Ok(msg) }
  }

  private def getFutureMessage(delayTime: FiniteDuration): Future[String] = {
    val promise: Promise[String] = Promise[String]()
    actorSystem.scheduler.scheduleOnce(delayTime) { promise.success("Hi!") }
    promise.future
  }

}

IntelliJ’s in-editor code highlighting does not rely on a Java compiler and therefore does not support annotation processing. You can add support for your own annotation processor by writing a plugin that would tell IntelliJ about the methods generated by your annotation processor; this is what the IntelliJ Lombok plugin does.
