Lombok with IDEA 13: Cannot find symbol

Question

I have tried using Lombok on Intellij IDEA 13 Ultimate. However. I get the famous error "cannot find symbol" for all the methods that should have been available when I am using specific annotations for example the once I use as annotations are @Builder, @AllArgsConstructor and @Data.

I have already set my compiler to enable annotation processing and I have looked deeply into it, but with no solution of how to solve it.

Any advice or tips would be nice.

Have you installed the lombok plugin for IDEA? https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6317 — Magnilex, Apr 17 '15 at 07:45
Are you using Maven? Have you made sure that the jar is on the classpath? — Magnilex, Apr 17 '15 at 08:17

Kind of old question here, but I came across the same problem today. I had to do two things to make it work:

Set annotation processing on: Settings -> Compiler -> Annotation Processors
Change from ajc to javac for the project: Compiler -> Java Compiler

you of course also need the Lombok plugin.

In my case non of methods works. But I found solution for my case. I needed to add to my Gradle dependencies list of

dependencies {
    compileOnly 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.18.22'
}

one more line

dependencies {
    compileOnly 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.18.22'
    annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.18.22'
}

With such combination you even don't need enabling Annotation Processors from @Vegard answer.

In my case apart from enabling Annotation Processing and installing Lombok Plugin I had to rebuild project by Build -> Rebuild Project

I have the same problem. Using maven, after I add at to my pom.xml annotationProcessor nothing changed. Also I'm installed Lombok plugin at Intelij IDEA.

<annotationProcessorPaths>
    <path>
        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
        <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
        <version>1.18.20</version>
    </path>
</annotationProcessorPaths>

I was having a similar issue, but resolved it by upgrading to IDEA 15.0.2 and Lombok plugin 0.9.6.14. I had to restart IDEA several times before all of the getters/setters generated by Lombok were resolved.

I also found this related answer, but it didn't seem to help my problem. It may help you if upgrading does not.

Tried with the @Mike's solution above, and it works. For your information, even though I enabled the Annotation Processors , but it seems like not working. After I added the annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.18.22' it was built successfully.

I solved this in my Gradle project by including the Lombok plugin. No dependencies or annotationProcessor needed (nor did those work for me).

For example in your build.gradle.kts:

plugins {
    id("io.freefair.lombok") version "6.5.1"
}
