I need to write a short test for some Java code. I used CTRL+SHIFT+T to generate one with IntelliJ, and selected "Groovy JUnit" as the testing library, then wrote the following test:
package util
class FibonacciHeapTest extends GroovyTestCase {
FibonacciHeap<Integer> heap
void setUp() {
super.setUp()
heap = new FibonacciHeap<>()
}
void testAddInOrder() {
testForItems 1..1000
}
private void testForItems(Range<Integer> items) {
items.each {heap << it}
assertEquals heap.size, items.to
items.each {assertEquals heap.remove(), it}
}
}
However, when I right click on the test case in the project window, I don't get the "Run All Tests" option that I normally do with JUnit tests, and the compiler throws the following error:
Information:2/4/15 8:15 PM - Compilation completed with 2 errors and 0 warnings in 2 sec
/home/patrick/IdeaProjects/hackerrank/src/test/java/util/FibonacciHeapTest.groovy
Error:(3, 1) Groovyc: unable to resolve class util.FibonacciHeap
Error:(9, 1) Groovyc: unable to resolve class GroovyTestCase
Trying to import GroovyTestCase or FibonacciHeap manually causes the same error. IntelliJ does not add any import statements when I let autocomplete finish the names for me, like it usually would with Java code.
What am I doing wrong?
This worked for me :
Open Gradle window (on right side in my case)
Click on refresh button
Done
I had a similar problem with creating test classes in IntelliJ, and it was solved when creating a new directory outside of the com.company folder (where I had the class I wanted to test).
Create a new directory for the test classes on the same level as your src folder
Right click on your new test directory, and "Mark directory as" --> "Test Resources Root"
Now create a test class, which should automatically be added to your test directory.
Build -> Rebuild project in the IDE itself (as opposed to maven, in my case) did it for me.
In my case, what I did to resolve the issue was rather simple.
Close IntelliJ
Open the attached homepage...
Remove your project by clicking on the x then...
Click on Import Project, Navigate to the build.graddle file of your project and open.
That was it and all the Red highlightings disappeared.
maybe you need add groovy-all rather then groovy,such as :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
<artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
<version>${groovy.version}</version>
</dependency>
You have to configure Groovy SDK first. See the screenshot
More detailed description in the official document: Configuring Global, Project and Module SDKs
As #sman591 pointed out in a comment, if you are getting the error:
groovyc: unable to resolve class groovy.util.GroovyTestCase
and you already have groovy as a dependency then you are probably just missing the junit dependency.
In IntelliJ IDEA I re-imported the project. It worked then.
I closed idea. I removed .idea folder in the project. And I imported the project.
Then I needed to set up Groovy, see previous answers, mark test directory as test source in all modules of my project.
I was selecting the root folder which had build.gradle file in it, but it didn't work.
Steps followed are similar to #Pila
close the project from intellij
remove .idea, log, out folders
go to intellij dashboard
import project from existing resources
select build.gradle file <-- this is important
now you should see all the tasks are getting build in the background, and once build is finished all red lines are gone.
Here's my code which sets up the server using Jersey+ Grizzly combination from here. I haven't modified anything. also, all my files in the package com.example.
package com.example;
A rough skeleton of the Main.java which has the main(String[] args) is:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
code;
}
}
Also, there are other .java classes which don;t have main method. The project is being built by Maven and I use IntelliJ. The two execution profiles I have are:
Working directory : Z:/IdeaProjects/com.example with command line arguements:
clean test and exec:java
I understand that i need to run my Main but I don't know how to do it via Maven+IntelliJ. Can someone please help me?
I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but I usually just right click on the main method and then click on the Run option. If you haven't downloaded all your dependencies, then go ahead and click on the Maven Projects tab, on the right side of the screen and run the compile stage to download all of your dependencies.
If you attached the error message you are getting that might help us narrow down the issue you are having.
You need a directory per package component. The path should be com/example/Main, not com.example/Main.
I'm a beginner in Java and am trying to run my code using IntelliJ that I just installed as my IDE with JDK 1.7. The following piece of code keeps does not even compile and keeps giving me the error:
Error: Could not find or load main class libTest
Code
import java.lang.Integer;
import java.lang.String;
import java.lang.System;
import java.util.*;
class book {
private String name = "trial";
private int bookCode=1;
private int issued=0;
public void Issue(){
if(issued==0) {
issued=1;
System.out.println("You have succesfully issued the book");
}
else {
System.out.println("The book is already issued. Please contact the librarian for further details");
}
}
public int checkCode() {
return bookCode;
}
String readName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String newName){
name=newName;
}
public void setBookCode(int newCode){
bookCode=newCode;
}
}
class library {
private ArrayList books=new ArrayList();
public void getList(){
for(int bk:books){
String bName=books(bk).readName();
System.out.println((bk+1)+") "+bName);
}
}
}
public class libTest{
public static void main(String[] args){
library newLib= new library();
System.out.println("code working");
}
}
Is there any change that i have to make in the compiler settings?? Or is it the code.
This might help:
1) "Build" menu -> "Rebuild Project".
Sometimes Intellij doesn't rewrite the classes because they already exist, this way you ask Intellij to rewrite everything.
2) "Run" menu -> "Edit configuration" -> delete the profile -> add back the profile ("Application" if it's a Java application), choose your main class from the "Main Class" dropdown menu.
3)"Build" menu -> "Rebuild Project".
If none of the above answers worked for you, just close your IntelliJ IDE and remove the IntelliJ IDE file and folder from the root of your project:
rm -rf .idea *.iml
Then open the project with IntelliJ. It must work now.
For me the solution was to fix the output directory under project settings. Before I was using just "target" for the Project compiler output. Instead I updated it to have a full path e.g. D:\dev\sigplusjava2_68\target
I had this problem and I tried everything under the sun that I could think of and on this site.
None of my Java classes were being picked up after I pulled from a remote branch. All the classes had red Js by their names in the Project Hierarchy, not blue Cs.
In the end, I tried to follow this tutorial and a few steps in tried something not described and fixed the issue:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-and-managing-modules.html
Here's what I did:
Goto File | Project Structure, or press Crtl+Shift+Alt+S
Select Modules under the Project Settings section.
In the Sources tab click Sources on the 'Mark as:' line.
Click the Apply button.
For some reason, all my classes then had blue C's.
Someone with a better understanding of how IntelliJ and/or IDE's might be able to explain the phenomenon, but all I know is now it can see all the classes and more importantly the main one, and run.
Invalidate cache and restart your IntelliJ, it worked for me.
Explicitly creating an out folder and then setting the output path to C:\Users\USERNAME\IdeaProjects\PROJECTNAME\out
seemed to work for me when just out, and expecting IntelliJ to make the folder wouldn't.
Also try having IntelliJ make you a new run configuration:
Find the previous one by clicking
then remove it
and hit okay.
Now, (IMPORTANT STEP) open the class containing your main method. This is probably easiest done by clicking on the class name in the left-hand side Project Pane.
Give 'er a Alt + Shift + F10 and you should get a
Now hit Enter!!
Tadah??
(Did it work?)
File > Project Structure > Modules > Mark "src" folder as sources.
This should fix the problem. Also check latest language is selected so that you don't have to change code or do any config changes.
I know this was asked a while ago, but I was just stumbling over this issue and thought my findings might help others. As pointed out, the error message is basically a result of the out folder. That's because, when you're trying to run the program, it compiles the code first, and puts the compiled result to the out location, and then it tries to load the compiled code from the out location. If the compiled code is not in the location expected, you'll get the error.
The point I'm particularly wanting to share is that some times, the code is not compiled (built), even though your run configuration specifies "Build" in the "Before launch" section of the configuration panel.
When can this happen?
One situation that can cause this to happen is if you're using modules and you manually delete the module out directory. For example, if I have a module named "foo", there should be a directory named foo under out/production. If you manually delete it, the build system may not know that it needs to be rebuilt.
Even worse, if you select Build | Build module 'foo', it still may not rebuild the module. If that's the case, you should select a file in the module, for example 'bar.java' and then select Build | Recompile 'bar.java'. Now the out directory out/production/foo should be restored.
Since IntelliJ typically knows about any changes going on, this surprised me, and took me a little time to figure out, so I thought I'd share.
Check your class module : I have encountered this problem with intellij :
I have a maven multi-module project, the problem is that i runing a class which not exist the module within the configuration, so my problem is fixed by setting the right module ("edit configuration" -> "use class of module")
may this help you
I had to mark the "src" folder as "Sources". After restarting IntelliJ and rebuilding the project I could run the project without further issues (see screenshot).
Edit: You can access the "Project Structure" tab via File->Project Structure or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S.
I ran into this problem when my Java class was under src/main/kotlin. After I moved it to src/main/java, the problem was gone.
I have faced such problems when the class is in the default folder, i.e. when the class does not declare a package.
So I guess using a package statement (eg. package org.me.mypackage;) on top of the class should fix it.
Open Modules Tab (Press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S). I had two modules under one project. I've solved the problem after removing the second redundant module (see screenshot).
After creating your project in intelliJ, try running the following command:
mvn package
I have tried all the hacks suggested here - to no avail. At the end I have simply created a new Maven application and manually copied into it - one by one - the pom.xml and the java files and resources. It all works now. I am new to IntelliJ and totally unimpressed but how easy it is to get it into an unstable state.
Invalidating cache didn't work.
I edited the main class java file with a dummy change and ran it. It worked.
In my case the problem seemed to be related to upgrading IntelliJ. When I did this I overwrote the files from the old IntelliJ with the files from the new IntelliJ (2017 community to 2018 community). After that all of my projects were broken. I tried everything in this thread and none of them worked. I tried upgrading gradle to the latest version (4 to 4.8) and that didn't work. The only thing that worked for me was deleting the entire IntelliJ folder and reinstalling it. All of my projects worked after that.
I have tried almost everything suggested in the answers here, but nothing worked for me.
After an hour of just trying to run my application, I noticed that my project's path included non-ASCII characters (Arabic characters). After I moved my project to a path with no non-ASCII characters, it executed just fine.
Goto File-> Invalidate Caches and Restart .
Else delete rm -rf .idea *.iml
and restart InteliJ
You can run the maven command on the pom.xml file in your project directory:
mvn clean install
For me - i tried few of the options above, did not work. Then i just renamed my Application class and that probably forced intelliJ to build a fresh jar and error message started to change. Then i renamed it back and it worked.
Mark the directory as a source directory. Opened via Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S
modules.xml with wrong content, I don't know what's matter with my IDEA.
I inherited a bunch of .JAVA files from elsewhere and couldn't figure out how to get them to work in any IDE. Ultimately I had to go to the command line where the Main.JAVA file was and run javac Main.java. This created a bunch of .CLASS files. The IDE's were then able to figure out what to do.
I got this error when using Scala/SBT. IntelliJ could not find the main class, even though everything was set up correctly.
My solution: delete the <user>/.sbt/<version>/plugins/target folder, then restart IntelliJ.
You probably would have specified a wrong package and the package hierarchy would not be right. Look below
The ide would highlight the wrong path in that case.
I'm using IntelliJ with Spring and my main class is wrapped in a JAR.
I had to mark the 'Include dependencies with "Provided" scope' in the Run/Debug configuration dialog
We are at File/Project Structure..
Answer might be:
Folder indicated as "content root" needs a child folder where the code is.
Plus find the button that marks code as excluded and not.
Not to be confused with tickbox that states excluded without telling in what phase and what**
Is it compiler exclude or runtime exclude? You are doomed to test and lot.
So no that tickbox but icons and colors.
As an idea we need to crack how it was originally thought to work. They never got it to work in first place and started add things in premature codaculation style.
It has been so many years and you cannot expect any improvement.
But as cure we can hack out some way to get it right every time.
Another thing you can check here is the actual command that is being passed to the JVM and make sure it looks OK. Scroll to the top of your Run console, it should be the first line.
Spaces in your Run Configuration VM Options field will malform the app startup command and can result in this error message
-DsomeArgument="arg with space must be quoted"
I am working with Kotlin but am guessing the problem is the same. I would start a project, create a single file and add main to it and the IDE couldn't find the main.
I tried the things in this list and none worked. I finally mentioned my frustration on one of the IntelliJ pages and was contacted. Of course, it worked fine for IntelliJ. After a couple of days back and forth, I noticed that the highlight function wasn't working and mentioned that. It turned out something was wrong with the IDE settings. I still don't know specifically what was wrong but the fix in my case was to reset the IDE settings. File->Manage IDE Settings->Restore Default settings.
After this, the green triangle start icon became visible to the left of my main function and things continued to work normally for subsequent projects.

I have several launch configurations in Eclipse each launching the same Java program but with different parameters.
Now is it possible to run all of these at once (with one mouse click) instead of selecting each of it separately and launching it?
EDIT: According to this answer since Eclipse Oxygen (4.7.0) you can use a run configuration of the type Launch Group for that.
Just install "C/C++ Development Tools" from the CDT (see eclipse.org/cdt/downloads.php ) - this single package is enough, no other CDT packages are needed. This won't disturb your Java environment ;-) Then you have "Launch Groups", for any kind of project, including Java projects. See the following screenshot:
You can run or debug the projects (also mixed mode), define delay times and so on. Have fun!
I found this post on the Eclipse trackers: Start multiple debug configurations at once
While it talks about multi-launching debug configurations, I think it is just as applicable to run configurations.
You may want to right click a run configuration in group launch and configure it.
Since Eclipse Oxygen (4.7.0) you can use a run configuration of the type Launch Group for that.
This short video shows how to use a Launch Group.
There are two more options listed in Launch an Eclipse Run Configuration from ANT.
You could group them in Ant and then call them using Ant4Eclipse. Or call multiple launch configs from a command script using eclipse remote control.
You can create a separate class that calls your program with different arguments, and run it instead.
public class YourClass {
public static void main(String arg){
System.out.println(arg);
}
}
public class YourClassTester {
public static void main(String[] args){
YourClass.main("SomeArg1");
YourClass.main("SomeArg2");
YourClass.main("SomeArg3");
}
}
You don't need any plugin:
Create all Run Configurations in eclipse
