I would be happy to help, That's the error I got:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project b: Compilation failure: Compilation failure: 
[ERROR] /home/*/eclipse-workspace/b/src/main/java/BotSheets/b/GoogleSheetAPI.java:[17,43] package com.google.api.client.json.jackson2 does not exist

[ERROR]   symbol:   variable JacksonFactory
[ERROR]   location: class BotSheets.b.GoogleSheetAPI

The Java version is 10.0.1

I tried some stuff but without big success. this code I copy from http://www.seleniumeasy.com/selenium-tutorials/read-data-from-google-spreadsheet-using-api


Solution

  • If you using an IDE, is the IDE not showing any error? By the look of it, you don't have the maven dependency for Jackson 2 extension. Try adding the dependency in maven.

    <dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.http-client</groupId>
    <artifactId>google-http-client-jackson2</artifactId>
    <version></version> //Add the version you want to use. 
    </dependency>
