UserMapper interface has

@Mapper(unmappedTargetPolicy = ReportingPolicy.IGNORE)

annotation. I use eclipse Neon with buildship plugin, org.mapstruct and spring are imported with Gradle. It works without this error on my colleague’s IntelliJ

Code for UserMapper:

package edu.pw.eiti.pik.user;

import org.mapstruct.Mapper;
import org.mapstruct.ReportingPolicy;
import org.mapstruct.factory.Mappers;
import org.springframework.security.core.GrantedAuthority;

@Mapper(unmappedTargetPolicy = ReportingPolicy.IGNORE)
public interface UserMapper {

    static UserMapper getInstance() {
        return Mappers.getMapper(UserMapper.class);
    }

    User fromDto(UserDto dto);

    UserDto toDto(User entity);

    Authority fromDto(AuthorityDto dto);

    AuthorityDto toDto(GrantedAuthority entity);
}

From what I read it could do something with compiler failing to connect auto-generated code (Gradle does not set anything in AnnotationProcessing>FactoryPath)

Answer

Found probable cause:

https://github.com/mapstruct/mapstruct/issues/1159

looks like an issue between mapstruct and lombok

Edit:

Solution is to remove javaagent:lombok.jar from eclipse.ini, restart IDE and rebuild project, make a copy of files generated from annotation, add javaagent to eclipse.ini, restart IDE and rebuild project and restore copied files
