I am having problem with Eclipse using Maven. I am getting package org.assertj.core.api does not exist even though I am specifying it in my pom.xml, as version 3.6.2 while using JDK 1.8. How to overcome it ? mvn clean install is failing.

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project com.transunion.qa.datahub.ui.java.bdd.serenity: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

[ERROR] /Users/pnutala/eclipse-photon-workspace/com.transunion.datahub.ui.qc.java.bdd.serenity/src/main/java/com/transunion/qc/steplibrary/datahub/DeCoherentUser.java:[7,35] package org.assertj.core.api does not exist

[ERROR] /Users/pnutala/eclipse-photon-workspace/com.transunion.datahub.ui.qc.java.bdd.serenity/src/main/java/com/transunion/qc/steplibrary/datahub/DeCoherentUser.java:[7,1] static import only from classes and interfaces [ERROR] -> [Help 1]

Tried Mvn clean install, and verify unsuccessfully.

 import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;

 @Step
 public void landedOnListPage(String expectedTotle) {

assertThat(currentListPage.getTitle()).containsIgnoringCase(expectedTotle);

Can we see that section of your pom? - Todd
Thanks for the reply. It got solved very trivially, by removing the 'test' scope in the pom file for the dependency(this is what I remember after few days!!) - PraNuta
@PraNuta please provide your pom before and after change so that future readers like me can be benefitted from this. - Meraj al Maksud
