Lombok added but getters and setters not recognized in Intellij IDEA

Question

I am using IntelliJ IDEA on ubuntu. I added lombok.jar into my project and installed the Lombok plugin for IDEA. I have access to the annotations but the getters and setters aren't generated. I get the same errors I would get if I tried accessing a getter or setter method that doesn't exist. What could I be missing?

Solution 1

I fixed it by ticking the "Enable annotation processing" checkbox in Settings->Compiler->Annotation Processors.

Along with this you might also need to install lombok plugin as mentioned in @X.Chen's answer for new versions of IntelliJ Idea.

Solution 2

You need to install the Lombok plugin for IDEA. Open the Settings panel (Ctrl + Alt + S). Search for "Plugins", then search for "Lombok" in the plugins. Find the plugin and install it. Finally, restart your IDEA. Then everything will be OK!

Solution 3

It is a combination of

• Ticking the "Enable annotation processing" checkbox in Settings->Compiler->Annotation Processors.

  and

• Install the plugin of Lombok for idea and restart for change to take effect.

Solution 4

If you are on Mac, make sure you enable annotation processing (tick the checkbox) at these 2 places.

1.) Intellij IDEA -> Preferences -> Compiler -> Annotation Processors

2.) File -> Other Settings -> Default Settings -> Compiler -> Annotation Processors

And then

3.) Intellij IDEA -> Preferences -> Plugins ->Browse Repositories-> Search for "Lombok"-> install plugin -> Apply and restart IDEA

4.) And then probably restart Intellij IDEA.

This is my IntelliJ IDEA and Mac Version - IntelliJ IDEA 2017.1.5 Build #IU-171.4694.70 --- Mac OS X 10.12

Solution 5

I had both the Lombok plugin installed and Annotation Processing enabled within IntelliJ and my syntax highlighting still wasn't working properly. This could have been due to the 2017 to 2018 IDEA upgrade. I was getting warnings "access exceeds rights" on private fields within classes I had used @Getter and @Setter on.

I had to uninstall the Lombok plugin, restart IntelliJ, then reinstall the plugin, and restart IntelliJ once more.

Everything is working good now.

Adding one more info which i tried as comment for people looking for answers after every trick they tried. Please invalidate your lib cache->delete .m2 folder and build the project again.

I tried this and it didn't actually solve my problem, are there are options I should be looking at?

[Jemshit Iskenderov]

This solved, on Android Studio this plugin is needed

"Compiler" option is present under "Build, Execution, Deployment" option on "Settings" Page in intellij 2017 edition.

[Jason Slobotski]

Haha! Glad I could help sir.

Same here, it didn't work after the upgrade to 2018 IDEA. You don't have to reinstall the plugin though. Just go to Settings > Plugins, open the Updates tab, and you should see an update for Lombok. After Lombok's update and another restart of Intellij, it should work.

In a combination of Lombok Plugin.

Woohoo! Had to do this after a new IntelliJ version install. Did not realize lombok was a plugin.

[Trevor]

Just disabling, and then re-enabling and restarting worked for me.

[Mario Codes]

in addition to this, my problem was after doing this 2 steps it needed a mvn clean install and then use the button Maven -> Reimport All Maven Projects.

Same here after an IntellijJ Update : Had to update Lombok

On 2020.3, accessing default settings looks like: File -> New Projects Settings -> Preferences for New Projects.

I had the latest plugin and everything installed, but still intellij was not able to recognize the get and set methods. The build however was working fine. Your answer resolved my issue! Thanks a lot!

In my office, restricted to install plugins. Is there any other way we can add lombok? I have the lombok jar file.
