Could you please attachscreenshot with your Annotation Processor settings? Have you tried to run "File | Invalidate Caches" and "Refresh" from maven tool window? — y.bedrov, Jan 12 '18 at 09:26
For Intellij + Maven, try this https://stackoverflow.com/a/59090028/4057038 — Meena Chaudhary, Nov 28 '19 at 13:34

Probably you have to install Lombok Plugin so that IDEA would know what does that annotation means.

I faced the same issue. A simple maven update helped me. You can try the following from command line:

mvn clean install -U

and then run your application

mvn spring-boot:run

In addition to making sure you have the Lombok Plugin installed you also need annotation processing enabled.

After that I started to get this error and I needed to do a 'Build > Rebuild Project' to shake it off.

Do you have a lombok.config file that renames to log variable to something else using lombok.log.fieldName = xxx?

And where should this configuration be set? It is not explained very well in the docs – Urosh T. Aug 23 '18 at 10:47

It may be related to @Slf4j and may be you are using any latest version of project lombok (1.18.x)+ try to install the earlier versions like 1.16.x which supports @Slf4j.

And then restart eclipse and rebuilt the project.

I had the same problem, in my case, the compiler configuration was wrong because the Ajc compiler was selected, so I change it to Javac instead.

Config path:

File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler > Java Compiler

1.Go to https://projectlombok.org/ 2.Download JAR file. 3.Run JAR file. Usually double-clicking JAR file is enough. 4.In the Lombok installation screen, make sure that your Spring Tool Suite instance is listed. 5.Click Install/Update, then Quit Installer. 6.Open Spring Tool Suite, go to About Spring Tool Suite. The large area that contains the version number should have the Lombok version listed at the bottom. You might have to scroll, even though there is no scroll bar.

All the Best.
