IntelliJ IDEA cannot resolve static import

compiler-errors, intellij-idea, java, static-import

Solution

You either want to do this, which will import all of the static members of Assert

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

Or, to get a specific method

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

Problem

When I import regularly it works as expected: However, if I change an import to `static`, IDEA cannot resolve it: Gradle builds the project successfully. It seems to be a problem with IDEA but I can't find if it is a known problem. I tried cleaning, invalidate caches etc. Anything else I can do? Im using `IntelliJ IDEA community 2016.2.4` and java version `1.7.0_79`
