IntelliJ not pulling in Grails 3 private dependencies

Question

I'm struggling to get IntelliJ 15 Ultimate Edition to work with Grails 3 private dependencies. Basically I have a repository (artifactory) where my private plugins are published. My application compiles/runs/pulls in all the plugins correctly but IntelliJ just doesn't pick up the dependencies. As you can imagine this is a nightmare for code autocompletion etc.

Here's output from the gradle overview in IntelliJ

And here is the config for the plugins in build.gradle - these environment variables are definitely set - I've also tried to include the credentials in ~/.m2/settings.xml but still not working.

repositories {
    maven {
        url "http://maven.hidden.co/plugins-release-local"
        credentials {
            username System.getenv('REPO_USERNAME')
            password System.getenv('REPO_PASSWORD')
        }
    }
}

Please help. I'm going insane.

This was entirely my fault. I was relying on OS X environment variables set by .profile and .bash_profile to be present in IntelliJ when they are not. I had to use another mechanism to get these environment variables into IntelliJ.

I created a file Library/LaunchAgents/environment.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>Label</key>
  <string>my.startup</string>
  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
  <array>
    <string>sh</string>
    <string>-c</string>
    <string>
    launchctl setenv REPO_USERNAME xxx
    launchctl setenv REPO_PASSWORD xxx
    </string>
  </array>
  <key>RunAtLoad</key>
  <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

This set the environment fields for me system wide and I was able to load my projects correctly.
