JAVAFX Build Fails with Intellij on MAC

I have been trying to complete this step for 2 days and can't find a solution.

I am running IntelliJ on Mac 10.13.2

After creating a brand new project with nothing more than the "Hello World" Title screen I attempt to build artifacts.

I have my project settings correct for what I can tell and set the output to be native dmg.

the error I get is: 

Error:Java FX Packager: 
BUILD FAILED
/Users/silverapple/Library/Caches/IdeaIC2017.3/compile-server/asi-sync_34d86456/_temp_/build.xml:29: Error: Bundler "DMG Installer" (dmg) failed to produce a bundle.
Total time: 1 minute 13 seconds

Error:Java FX Packager: Buildfile: /Users/silverapple/Library/Caches/IdeaIC2017.3/compile-server/asi-sync_34d86456/_temp_/build.xml
build artifact:
No base JDK. Package will use system JRE.
No base JDK. Package will use system JRE.
Building DMG package for JavaFXApp
Error:Java FX Packager: fx:deploy task has failed.

I have googled up and down and can not figure out why I can not get a build.

The weird thing is that this process produces a mounted dmg package on the desktop that runs fine. But nothing in the build folder.

Posting the work around I found here as it may not be obvious to some. It wasn't to me as a Mac Noob who thought a dmg build was the only way to go.

This is a known issue and can be tracked here...

If you specify "img" as the native bundle in IntelliJ Project Settings you will get an .app package in the build folder.

The user can copy this to the Application folder and run it from there.

NOTE: For me the app was un-signed so it was blocked by GateKeeper. Command click allowed me to open it and set it to a trusted app.
