Karaoke.java:1: error: cannot access Song import

The workspace keep complaining on bad source file but I have done as the video. Can't figure out what is wrong. (Oh and how do one copy and paste in code the nice way here?)

"Karaoke.java:1: error: cannot access Song
import com.teamtreehouse.model.Song;
^
bad source file: ./com/teamtreehouse/model/Song.java
file does not contain class com.teamtreehouse.model.Song
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the source path."

edit It worked after an hour of waiting, the Workspace was very slow to update the changes.

If I knew how to post pictures in this forum it would be easier to show. (can't find information on how to do it, the markdown cheatsheet is just cluttered with text)

You can copy and paste the code as test; that works fine. But, the markdown allows pictures as links which is impossible to copy into here! Stick to copy/paste.

One issue is with SongBook.java - what includes have you got in there? There may be other issues, but let's start with that one!

Hi Wolf, I had the same error. I figured it out after 3 hours... The error was that I forgot to declare the class properly in the Song.java file.

BEFORE: public Song { // my awesome code }

AFTER CORRECTION: public class Song { // my awesome code }

just forgetting to write the name: "class" gave me a million errors!! I felt very silly.

Hope this helps.
