I am having a problem with intelliJ not finding the imports

I am having a problem with IntelliJ not finding the imports (and subsequently the classes)

At the moment the code is bare bones and doesn't do anything, I am in the process of practicing my skills but I can't get past this error.

The IntelliJ project can be found on GitHub here

The code in question is MovieRecommenderSystemApplicationTests.java

package com.jreid.spring.basics.movierecommendersystem;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;

@SpringBootTest
class MovieRecommenderSystemApplicationTests {

    @Test
    void contextLoads() {
    }

}

And the errors are as follows:

java: package org.junit.jupiter.api does not exist
java: package org.springframework.boot.test.context does not exist
java: cannot find symbol
  symbol: class SpringBootTest
java: cannot find symbol
  symbol:   class Test
  location: class com.jreid.spring.basics.movierecommendersystem.MovieRecommenderSystemApplicationTests

IntelliJ finds the symbols without any problems.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I had same issue, version Build #IC-251.21418.62, that I believe was caused by having more than 1 project open in 2 separate IJ tabs. Exiting IJ and opening just 1 project resolved issue. Hoping this is not a limitation on IJ on having > 1 project open at same time. This solution is also based on Mike's previous solution, just a 1st simpler approach.

My remedy to the solution when intellij does not find jupiter or Q* objects (generated and compiled from another project):

  1. Exit Intellij
  2. mvn clean install -> must be successfull
  3. start Intellij
  4. Open Maven register (on my screen the right side)
  5. Select Profiles on the top of the list
  6. press the button "Reload all maven projects"
  7. wait, then try to start the spring boot service .. in some cases this still does not work, then I do the same again, and very often this helps

Build,execution,deployment.build tools.reload project after changes in the build script.enabled Build,execution,deployment.build tools.maven.execute goals recursively.enabled Build,execution,deployment.build tools.maven.use settings from mvn/config.enabled Build,execution,deployment.build tools.maven.runner.Delegate IDE buildrun actions to Maven.DISabled Build,execution,deployment.build tools.maven.runner.Run in background.enabled Build,execution,deployment.build tools.maven.runner.Skip Tests.DISabled

Enable auto import for maven dependency in settings Import Maven projects automatically. And do mvn clean install. If it won't work, use Invalidate Caches menu to reindex mvn repository. And be sure you have all dependencies in pom.xml of course
