IntelliJ Class not found bug

[ghost]

Whenever I try to run Sponge through IntellijIDEA (Latest version) I get this error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: GradleStartServer

[AbrarSyed]

you probably have the run configurations set for the wrong module.
see #351

I still don;t understand what I'm supposed to do to resolve this.

Run gradlew runClient for now.

@AbrarSyed I meet this problem too, it says something like GradleStart is not in classpath.

[AbrarSyed]

Yal need to learn to use your chosen IDE. Inyelloj 2016 made it so that a standard gradle project has 3 modules. Project, project-main, and project-test.
The run configurations are targetting the 'project' module instead of 'project-main'.

Oh thanks.

I wasn't aware of that addition to IntellijJ thank you Abrar :)

By the way @AbrarSyed how to launch dev inv with test mods for forge? I could only launch without test mods.

For those using IntelliJ to correct this error:

After you have setup your project and run the 'genIntellijRuns' task from Gradle panel

1. Select the 'Run' menu
2. Select 'Edit Configurations...'
3. In the navigation tree select 'Minecraft Client'
4. for the value of 'Use classpath of module' change the value from '[YourModName]' to '[YourModName]_main'.
5. Click 'Apply'
6. In the navigation tree select 'Minecraft Server'
7. for the value of 'Use classpath of module' change the value from '[YourModName]' to '[YourModName]_main'.
8. Click 'Apply'

Tested using Intellij 2016.1.3 and the 10.2 experimental mdk

@shaneknysh when i click on "Use classpath of module" i do not get [modname]_main in the dropdown menu at all. The only two choises i get is "" and "[modname]"

[liach]

@RexTheCapt Because you need to separate each source set into a module when you import

[RexTheCapt]

@liach how do i do that?
