- In the Command Prompt window, get the first exercise...
C:\Users\johndoe> exercism fetch java
New:
java (Etl) C:\Users\johndoe\exercism\java\etl
unchanged: 0, updated: 0, new: 1
-
In the "Welcome to IntelliJ IDEA" window, click the "Open" option.
-
Navigate to the "C:\Users\johndoe\exercism\java\etl" folder. Make sure you've selected the "etl" folder. Click "OK".
-
In the "Import Project from Gradle" dialog, check the "auto-import" and "create directories" checkboxes and select "Use customizable gradle wrapper".
Gradle project: [C:\Users\johndoe\exercism\java\etl\build.gradle ](...)
[X] Use auto-import
[X] Create directories for empty content roots automatically
( ) Use default gradle wrapper (not configured for the current project)
(o) Use customizable gradle wrapper
( ) Use local gradle distribution
...
- Click "OK". IntelliJ will automatically create its project artifacts based on the Gradle project file.
- After the project has loaded and you've dismissed the "Tip of the Day" dialog, you may see a notice (in the top-right-hand corner), saying, "Unindex remote maven repositories found." you can safely dismiss this notice.
-
Open the
README.mdfile and carefully read the background for the assignment. -
Start by running the test suite: In the "Project" view, right-click on the test file (
etl\src\test\java\EtlTest), select "Run", then pick the "EtlTest" that has a JUnit icon to the left of it (red and green arrows), NOT the Gradle icon (circular green).
- When you first start an exercise, you should expect compilation errors because the test is setting expectations on a class that you need to write. By trying to run the tests, you get a nice list of what needs to be fixed in the "Messages Make" view.
... and away you go!!!

If these menu options don't appear at first, wait for a few seconds and try again; IntelliJ is still configuring the project with a Java nature.
