Getting hundreds of missing class errors from forge

[Silly511]

I cloned the 1.12.x branch wanting to add a new event, but after I ran gradle setupForge and opened it in Eclipse, I got 2,222 errors from forge. After looking at some of them, it seems random classes like AbstractIllager, Advancement, RecipeBook, etc. were missing. What could be causing this?

I've run into this issue before, I don't remember exactly what the problem was. However I do remember that I fixed it by deleting my Forge workspace and then following cpw's Forge dev env setup video; cpw uses IntelliJ IDEA but the video is still applicable to Eclipse as long as you change the IDEA specific gradle tasks to Eclipse specific gradle tasks.

I haven't seen this command before. Did Forge stop using setupDecompWorkspace?

 

If you're getting so many missing classes, then the deobfuscation didn't happen. Install again.

Silly511 is setting up a Forge development workspace in order to submit a PR to Forge, not a Forge mod development workspace. The setup process for the former is quite different from the latter.

Aha... In that case, maybe one of the mods will move this thread to one of the other forums (such as  Support & Bug Reports )
