configuration - Java project with Gradle in IntelliJ IDEA: cannot resolve symbol 'google' but project compiles

Question

I have a toy Java project set up with Gradle in IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.2. It compiles and runs fine, but the IDE highlights 'google' in

import com.google.common.base.Strings;

as red and warns "Cannot resolve symbol 'google'". Any idea how to fix it?

I have tried 1) deleting .idea/ and re-creating the project in IntelliJ IDEA, and 2) re-importing project from the manually created Gradle configuration file build.gradle, but to no avail.

Answer 1

I think user Sap is correct, at least in my case. You should not have to manually add the dependency.

Did you change the dependencies in the gradle file without syncing intellij? Try this button:
