Im in IntellijIdea, trying to extract some logic from my tests to be reused in others. The problem is everytime I create another class (in the same test package); the test runs fine, but then stops finding the other file, throwing a 'java: cannot find symbol' error. It seems to happen whenever I make changes to the orginal file. It's the same for any new class I try to create, not just the abstract parent class in this example.
I've searched similar questions here, and because the test works at first this seemed promising IntelliJ can't find classes in same package when compiling. But, there were no scripts excepted when I checked.
Currently I'm running my unit tests by just right clicking my tests folder and selecting 'Run all tests', or just running the individual test the same way.
I would be very grateful for any insights.
EDIT: Thanks for fixing the image formatting issue for me. I also added the source code for the two classes as requested. I still feel like leaving the images is a good idea though, as I mainly meant to communicate the project structure and errors. Also, I want to stress that the problem is code independend I would say, since it persists with any two files.
Note that nonsensical line 51 of the InfoTest ("line = line;") was added to replicate the error. Any change to the original class causes any other class in the package to not be found. You can even see it's not present in the image showing the test running fine.
