Describe the bug

I am trying to update my POM to the latest Jackson Databind version, currently on 2.18.0 but unfortunately, 2.18.1 and 2.18.2 seem to not allow referencing to databind in IntelliJ.

I found this issue which sounds similar, perhaps this fix introduced a regression?

#4727

2.18.1 and 2.18.2:

2.18.0:

Version Information

2.18.1 and 2.18.2 are the affected versions, 2.18.0 is working as expected.

Reproduction

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
            <version>2.18.1</version>
        </dependency>

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectWriter;

Expected behavior

IntelliJ should be able to resolve the symbol and not complain it cannot find it.

Additional context

Happy to provide further details to a degree, this is an internal company project.

Have you raised an intellij issue? Noone else is complaining about jackson-databind.

I use intellij and see no issues like what you describe.

That looks like a symptom of your IDE didn't manage to download the dependency, for whatever reason.

Have you confirmed that it's really downloaded, by looking at IDE > Project window > External Libraries?

or run 'Rebuild' on the project

Thanks for the rapid input, gave me some ideas and manage to fix it, IntelliJ decided to exclude the classes in the project structure, invalidating the cache in IntelliJ and restarting has fixed it, not excluding the classes now for 2.18.2.

Edit: Got led astray a bit as it did not complain about the changes I made for Maven model v4 oddly enough, but it also excluded those classes when I updated it.
