Error: Module not specified (IntelliJ IDEA)


I was trying to execute a simple program in IntelliJ IDEA as a static web project. I'm newbie and I'm learning web development with Node.js. I took help from the official website of IntelliJ IDEA, but the error was same. Though, I configured the settings and Project structure also.

Error:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91\bin\java" -Didea.launcher.port=7535 "-Didea.launcher.bin.path=C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1.2\bin" -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -classpath "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1.2\lib\idea_rt.jar" com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain ""
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

    at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:264)
    at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:122)

Process finished with exit code 1

Snapshot of IDE

Please help me to sort out this problem. I'm digging out this problem since few days.


Solution

  • This is because the className value which you are passing as argument for
    forName(String className) method is not found or doesn't exists, or you a re passing the wrong value as the class name. Here is also a link which could help you.

    1. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/ClassNotFoundException.html
    2. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#forName(java.lang.String)

    Update

    Module not specified
    

    According to the snapshot you have provided this problem is because you have not determined the app module of your project, so I suggest you to choose the app module from configuration. For example:
