The only option I get when I get to the Generate menu is "Copyright". I have looked through JetBrains, but they do not say what to do if a constructor is not on the menu. I could make a constructor, but that would not be the point of the lesson.

Code generation is somewhat intelligent in that if your cursor is not in a place inside your whatever.java file in which a constructor would make sense, it won't prompt you to generate a constructor.

6,521 PointsI did not think that the constructor for the class should be within the class. So, the cursor was just outside of the class.

6,521 PointsOK, I watched the video and tried putting the cursor within the class. It showed constructor. So, I am OK now.

6,521 PointsMy cursor was put inside the SongRequest.java file. It is 15.0.2 version. So, is there something that I should have added?

Treehouse TeacherWhere inside the file? Inside the
classor just inside the file randomly? It makes a difference.
