Objectify 4 throwing strange error in GAE

Question

Objectify ofy = objectifyFactory.begin();
        User user= ofy.load().type(User.class).filter("userName", userName).first().now();

But eclipse is complaining that The method now() is undefined for the type Ref<User>.

I am using objectify4 with spring for a GAE project.

Answer 1

The correct method is

User user= ofy.load().type(User.class).filter("userName", userName).first().get();

Answer 2

Ref does not have a method now(). You can see its signature here:
