In latest versions of IntelliJ, the setting has been renamed to 'Ensure an empty line at the end of a file on save', and it has been moved under Setting>Editor>General>Save Files

This should have been a comment, but I wanted to add the screenshot as well so wrote as an answer.

As Rider (IDEA's cousin for .NET) is driving me crazy, this might be helpful for those writing C# as Ensure line feed at file end on Save alone won't work. It needs

File → Settings → Editor → Code Style → C# → Line Breaks and Wrapping → Line feed at end of file.

I don't remember changing it and I haven't imported any settings for sure, so I guess it's by default disabled.

IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3

Approach 1

File > Settings... > Editor > General > Ensure line feed at file end on Save

Approach 2

Help > Find Action... (Ctrl+Shift+A) > type "Ensure line feed" > switch the toggle to ON (using the mouse click or Enter) for "Other: Ensure line feed at file end on Save" line
