Class cpw.mods.bootstraplauncher.BootstrapLauncher not found in project

[smith54311993]

Using the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition with a fresh checkout of https://docs.minecraftforge.net/en/latest/gettingstarted/ the runClient command does not work.

Instead it says: Class 'cpw.mods.bootstraplauncher.BootstrapLauncher' not found in [project name]. When I try and edit the configuration and specify that class in "External Libraries", nothing happens.

Thanks for your assistance, but they already were. I do see the Gradle JVM is different, but I don't understand which JDK you have downloaded.

Running gradlew build in console builds the mod fine, but I want to be able to debug it.

The exact Run window output is:

I am having the exact same issue. Did you ever find our how to resolve this?

 

edit: I made a new project in Intellij and copied over all of my code. Runs perfectly now.
