Cannot resolve symbol SpringApplication

Question

Hi I've created a new spring boot project via intelliJ's Spring initializr

Here is my screenshot:

It seems something wrong, I've tried "invalid caches and restart", but it doesn't work.

Verify that spring-boot- dep is well loaded in your maven local repo. — Montassar El Béhi, Mar 19 '18 at 13:36
/.m2/repository/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot, there is a folder named [2.0.0.RELEASE] — Shurui Yang, Mar 19 '18 at 13:39
Make sure that the .jar exists. Else, remove it and maven update or mvn clean install your project. — Montassar El Béhi, Mar 19 '18 at 13:41

Please try:

Close IntelliJ
delete .idea/libraries internals
delete spring boot libraries from maven m2 folder. for example - .m2/repository/org/springframework/boot/

You can find .m2 folder under your home directory.

If above steps do not work -

Try

File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart -> Invalidate And Restart

Just deleting `.idea` folder was helpful for me. And then regenerating it. – invzbl3 Mar 12 '20 at 21:47
STEP 3 - You can find .m2 folder under your home directory. – grnc Aug 31 '20 at 19:45

Maybe it will help someone: none of these helped me but deleting cache and restarting intellij. See this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52633454/5924640 – Exceptional NullPointer Apr 08 '21 at 11:01
