Creating enums with lombok

Question

I am using project lombok with my application. I was creating an enum. If I use

@AllArgsConstructor

annotation with my enum, it doesn't recognise the constructor, enum throws and error that it cannot take string argument.

How to resolve this?

import lombok.Getter; import lombok.AllArgsConstructor  @AllArgsConstructor public enum Direction {     NORTH("NORTH"), // all these enums give error, for no constructor     SOUTH("SOUTH"),     EAST("EAST"),     WEST("WEST");      @Getter private String value; } 

P.S.: I am using intellij-idea, which has lombok plugin install. My lombok dependency version is: 1.16.20

You also have to have enabled "Enable annotation processing" in Settings -> Build -> Compiler -> Annotation Processor

Answer 2

That’s usually an issue with your IDE, and strangely, it gets fixed after restarting the IDE. It’s when the plugin lombok is not in the effect yet.
