IntelliJ on Mac is saying that the file should be named Scratch.java but it already is

Error Image

One of my students is using processing in IntelliJ on a Mac. We set it up using the same steps I used on my PC (Works on my PC), but now it gives me an error stating that the filename should be Scratch.java, but it already is (see attached photo).

What could be causing this? We tried a computer restart and we're getting the same error still.

IntelliJ’s Scratches feature

You need to remove public from your class definition.

From: public class Scratch extends PApplet To: class Scratch extends PApplet

It seems that is because the file is located under the Scratches and Consoles dir. More info about intelliJ's scratch here. If you place it under the src directory, it can be public.

have you tried rewriting the class name and renaming the file again, perhaps a charset encoding problem ? Or like LppEdd says cleaning cache and restarting IDEA, hope it helps
