Cljsbuild error when :output-to is outside of module root

[davidbalbert]

We have a Rails app with a ClojureScript front-end (the source is available on GitHub). We building the CLJS client with Leiningen and lein-cljsbuild.

The root of the CLJS project is ./client. The root of the Rails project is ./. In order to integrate with the Rails asset pipeline, we have lein-cljsbuild write the compiled output files to directories outside the root of the CLJS project. This works fine with Leiningen on the command line, but in Cursive, the following error is thrown:

3:15:47 PM Throwable: The file '/Users/david/Development/community/client/../app/assets/javascripts' is not under content entry root '/Users/david/Development/community/client'

I would expect this to work in Cursive, but I am new to Cursive and IntelliJ and not quite sure what I should expect to happen.

Please let me know if there are any questions I can answer or any other things you need from me.
