java.lang.NoSuchMethodError when it is clearly there

Question

General Info: I am using the Bukkit/Spigot API in version git-Spigot-1d14d5f-ba32592 (MC: 1.8.3) (Implementing API version 1.8.3-R0.1-SNAPSHOT), IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.3 and compile with its default compiler. The java jdk version is 1.8.0_25.

So when I try to call this class's constructor, it throws the runtime exception from the title.

As you can see the constructor is there and is to my knowledge properly called. So is this error a mistake in my project setup, an API thing, or something entirely different?

The utility classes are in a seperate module and everything works if I paste them into my test plugin module, but not inside the other module. However any other constructor in any other class inside me.lakan.util.inventory can be called normally.

Answer 1

The problem was in the project structure.

For the test artifact, I chose the module output of the util module. Changing it to the artifact output of the util module fixed it.
