Not able to use the Ensure dependency

[Warren25]

I am trying to run the sample serenity cumber project here: https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-cucumber-starter.

I have ran into an issue with the SearchStepDefinitions file. Here is the screenshot. I'm running serenity-core version 4.1.0 in the pom file. I'm not sure if I need to upgrade my serenity version or the serenity-ensure dependency in the pom file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's an IDE issue - sometimes clearing the cache can help.

@wakaleo Hi John, I chose the highlighted option in the screenshot below to help clear my cache for IntelliJ IDE. I am still presented with the same issue.

[wakaleo]

Maybe raise the issue with JetBrains? Could be JVM-related? Not sure what else I can propose here - the class is present in the library, so there's not a lot more we can do on the Serenity side.

[Warren25]

@wakaleo Thank you John for your investigation. Although this is unfortunate, is there another class from the Library that I can use similar to Ensure?

Also, may I see the import line for Ensure class? I just want to make sure I have everything correct

[wakaleo]

The Ensure class is pretty important. Maybe also check your dependencies or your version of IntelliJ - since the Ensure library is written in Kotlin that might have some effect.

You will need at least Java 11 for Serenity 4.x

[Warren25]

@wakaleo I am using Java 18

[Warren25]

Adding this IntelliJ issue request that I created here for context: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/requests/6189765

[Warren25]

@wakaleo May I ask, what do you see here?

[Warren25]

@wakaleo And finally, last but not least, is there a command to git clone the Serenity Cucumber project? I would really like to use the Screenplay pattern and I wanted to try to create a new project by cloning instead of manually creating

[Warren25]

@wakaleo This issue should be closed as I confirmed that this was an IDE issue as you said
