I'm having a problem where IntelliJ cannot resolve imports even though the libraries are added to the project. Thanks.

I'm having a problem where IntelliJ cannot resolve imports even though the libraries are added to the project. It seems like its a problem with intellij itself but I don't know what. I'm new to intellij.

If you are creating Gragle project, then Open Gradle Tool window:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.2/gradle-tool-window.html

  1. usually if libraries cannot be loaded, then you'll squiggly lines under libraries that were not imported.

  2. Also post here your Gradle file: build.gradle.

  3. But the very best option would be to share project on GitHub, if you know how, so that anyone can take a look at your project files:

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.2/share-project-on-github-dialog.html

At last posting a screenshot here: well post it on the web somewhere, and share a link here, so that anyone can take a look could be one more option...

The project was downloaded from GitHub and I wasn't able to resolve the problem with IntelliJ so I created a new project and copy the content of the downloaded project into it.

Let me tell you how I do it with project from GitHub, when for example, I want to import project, let it be "Giflib from Spring Basics Course" here at Treehouse:

https://github.com/treehouse-projects/giflib

Here are my steps:

  1. Go to some directory I want my project to be
  2. type git clone https://github.com/treehouse-projects/giflib to this directory
  3. Open Intellijdea
  4. File -> New -> Project From Existing Sources ->
  5. Pick up dir where I cloned from git
  6. In 'Import Project' window I pick 'Import project from external model' and 'Gradle', if it is Gradle project
  7. Leave defaults in next Import Project window
  8. Click finish, and here I have a project imported.
