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?

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!

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.

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

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.

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. – Carrm Jan 12 '19 at 08:29
Just disabling, and then re-enabling and restarting worked for me. – Trevor Aug 21 '20 at 21:15

i had this issue, just make sure

Lombok plugin is added.
Annotation processor is ticked.
In your build.gradle/ pom.xml, you have set lombok to be the annotation processor.

Eg. for gradle->

annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.18.12'

It's possible that you already have the Lombok plugin, and still the generated methods are not recognised by Android Studio. In such case the plugin might be out of date, so the solution is to simply update it.

Preferences -> Plugins -> Lombok Plugin -> Update Plugin

I'm using IntelliJ with Spring boot 2.5.9. Here are the following things I did:

Added the Lombok Plugin
Enabled annotation processing
Add lombok dependency and annotationProcessor tag in build.gradle file or maven file. (It worked for me after this step)

Here is my build.gradle file:

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.5.9'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
    id 'java'
}

group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '11'

configurations {
    compileOnly {
        extendsFrom annotationProcessor
    }
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter'
    compileOnly 'org.projectlombok:lombok'
    annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok'
    testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}

tasks.named('test') {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}

The annotationProcessor is what I was missing. Worked for me after I added it, thanks — Lewis Munene, Sep 29 '22 at 14:53

In my case,

Lombok plugin was installed ✅
Annotation processor was checked ✅

but still I was getting the error as lombok is incompatible and getter and setters was not recognized. with further checking I found that recently my intelliJ version got upgraded and the old Lombok plugin is not compatible.

Go to Preference -> Plugins -> Search lombok and update

OR

Go to Preference -> Plugins -> Search lombok-> Uninstall restart IDE and install again from MarketPlace

Actually the lombok is working (if you run the project even with the IDE red alerts, you will see the project will run without error), but the IDE is not recognizing all the resources generated by the lombok annotations. So you have to install the lombok plugin, that's all!

In MacBook press command+, and then go to plug-in and search for Lombok and then install it.

It will work without restarting IntelliJ IDEA IDE if doesn't work then please try with restart.

In Linux,

If you're using gradle to add your Lombok dependency in IntelliJ, you might still face the issue even after following the two steps that others suggesting like,

Enabling the Enable annotation processing, in File-> Settings-> Build, Execution, Deployment-> Compiler(Expand)-> Annotation processors.
Installing or Enabling(If already installed) Lombok in File-> Settings-> Plugins.

Along with this also add the following dependency in your build.gradle script under the dependency along with Lombok dependency.

dependency{
    annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.18.20'
}

Change the dependency version since this is the latest version as I'm posting this.

In my case, plugin was installed and also the compiler preferences were set accordingly. I had to go to Refactor (in toolbar, in line to file, edit etc) -> Lombok menu -> Default @Data then Build or internally `mvn clean install'.

Similar to the accepted answers here, I found there was a bug in Lombok that only appeared in IntelliJ where it didn't generate the getters and setters for annotated fields; even when Lombok Annotations in IntelliJ were enabled.

What worked for me was

Update to Lombok 1.18 or higher
Make a new file in project root with the value lombok.addLombokGeneratedAnnotations=true
Invalidate caches and restart, re-enable Lombok Annotations on the project if it's turned off on restart.

After that, the project rebuilt and ran in the IDE successfully.

Lombok added but getters and setters not recognized in Intellij IDEA
