Webstorm 8.0.5 Issue regarding "Unresolved method or function"

I'm rather new to Webstorm and Node. During my explorations of the 8.0.5 iteration of Webstorm, I've setup a vanilla Node.js/Express/EJS project, to which I've made no code changes.

So, my questions refer to the code generated automatically by Webstorm for a Node.js/Express/EJS project.

The issue I'm facing, is that in the project file app.js, Webstorm has identified "urlencoded()" in the following line of code as an unresolved method or function:

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));

I've been careful to include the following external libraries in the vanilla project:

When I right click in the code area for app.js, I can select "Use JavaScript Library" to see that, indeed, my external libraries are selected.

My questions:

1) What would cause Webstorm to identify urlencoded() as unresolved, given the external libraries I've included?

2) How do I fix this?

For convenience, I've also created a screenshot.
