How to fix "The type List is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <String>" error in cucumber selenium JAVA

I tried to use the data table and implements my function to fetch the values from this Cucumber data table, I used List< List< String >> but it doesn't work !

public void myfunction(DataTable dt) throws Throwable {

List> list = dt.asList(String.class);

driver.findElement(By.id("name")).sendKeys(list.get(0).get(0));
driver.findElement(By.id("age")).sendKeys(list.get(0).get(1));
driver.findElement(By.id("nphone")).sendKeys(list.get(1).get(0));
driver.findElement(By.id("address")).sendKeys(list.get(1).get(1));

}

Check your imports, please. I have downloaded java.awt.list by mistake. It worked when I imported java.util.list.

Like :

import java.util.list;

Using Header we can implement Data Table in much clean & precise way and considering Data Table looks like below one -

And fill up the first & last name form with the following data
    | First Name | Last Name |
    |    Tom     |    Adam   |
    |   Hyden    | Pointing  |

public void myfunction(DataTable table) throws Throwable {

List<Map<String, String>> list = table.asMaps(String.class,String.class); 

driver.findElement(By.id("name")).sendKeys(list.get(0).get("First Name"));
driver.findElement(By.id("age")).sendKeys(list.get(0).get("Last Name"));
driver.findElement(By.id("nphone")).sendKeys(list.get(1).get("First Name"));
driver.findElement(By.id("address")).sendKeys(list.get(1).get("Last Name"));

}

Implementation Rules - Below are 2 snippet and the most interesting snippet is the first one, the one that suggest that the argument to the method is a DataTable dataTable. The snippet suggests that you should replace the DataTable dataTable argument with any of:

 - List<E>
 - List<List<E>>
 - List<Map<K,V>>
 - Map<K,V>
 - Map<K, List<V>>

It also tells us that each type, E, K, V must be of any of these types:

  • String
  • Integer
  • Float,
  • Double
  • Byte
  • Short
  • Long
  • BigInteger
  • BigDecimal
