I'm getting this error: java: cannot find symbol symbol: method builder() when using the .builder() method on an object that I previously marked with the @Builder annotation

#

frozen parcel thats truly a disaster

Ikr

#

I'm going insane atp there's always some fucking bug everyday 😿

#

so here's where I'm using it ``` private Book mapToBook(BookDto bookDto) {
if(!BookServiceUtils.isBookDtoValid(bookDto)) {
return null;
}

    return Book.builder()
            .author(bookDto.getAuthor())
            .title(bookDto.getTitle())
            .category(bookDto.getCategory())
            .pages(bookDto.getPages())
            .quantity(bookDto.getQuantity())
            .build();
}```

do u still have the old dependency setup for lombok

modern plume Jan 25, 2025, 8:41 PM

#

and here's the Book entity @Entity @NoArgsConstructor @AllArgsConstructor @Getter @Setter @Builder @Table(name = "book", uniqueConstraints = { @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "title") }) public class Book { @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) @Column(nullable = false) private Long id; @Column(nullable = false) private String author; @Column(nullable = false) private String title; @Column(nullable = false) private String category; @Column(nullable = false) private Integer pages; @Column(nullable = false) private Integer quantity; }

#

oops

#

wrong message

#

when u format code

#

do 3 ticks and type java

#

at the beginning of the message

#

so it has color

#

look

#

@Entity
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Getter
@Setter
@Builder
@Table(name = "book", uniqueConstraints = {
        @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "title")
})
public class Book {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private Long id;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String author;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String title;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String category;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private Integer pages;
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private Integer quantity;
}

#

anyway

#

you probably dont need to specify nullable false on each field

#

instead you could do validation on the fields when you are creating the entity

#

show the pom file with lombok setup

timid laurelBOT Jan 25, 2025, 8:44 PM

#

Please format your code & make it more readable.
For the java programming language, it should look like this:

```java
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
```
• These are backticks, not quotes.

for some reason it's not letting me post the pom.xml file

#

I'm getting some discord error

frozen parcel Jan 25, 2025, 8:45 PM

#

o btw you can just do

#

@Column(unique = true)

#

to make it unique

#

on the field

modern plume Jan 25, 2025, 8:45 PM

#

Damn
