Code not compiling. Not passing "respond to ping" stage

I keep getting this error " can’t find symbol OutputStream" even though I have correct import at the top. Attaching the code and error screenshot. Due to this the test keeps failing

Hey @afroz-al, could you upload your code to GitHub and share the link? It will be much easier to debug if I can run it directly.

afroz-al · May 21, 2025, 2:34am

@andy1li Sure. Here is the github link

github.com/afroz-al/codecrafters-redis-java

src/main/java/Main.java

master

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // You can use print statements as follows for debugging, they'll be visible
    // when running tests.
    System.out.println("Logs from your program will appear here!");

    // Uncomment this block to pass the first stage
    ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
    Socket clientSocket = null;
    int port = 6379;
    try {
      serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port);
      // Since the tester restarts your program quite often, setting SO_REUSEADDR
      // ensures that we don't run into 'Address already in use' errors
      serverSocket.setReuseAddress(true);
      // Wait for connection from client.

@andy1li Were you able to debug this ?

andy1li · May 22, 2025, 12:45am

@afroz-al The error message says “cannot find symbol: OutputStream”, and the code in your GitHub repo indeed doesn’t have import java.io.OutputStream;:

If you’ve already added the import locally, it’s possible that the change wasn’t committed or pushed correctly.

Let me know if you need help verifying that!

@andy1li Thanks for investigating. Import Change exist locally and I didn’t see any issue while publishing the change. All the commits have been pushed. How do I proceed from here?

Looks like the change hasn’t been committed yet:

Could you share the following?

The exact commands you used to commit and push.

Not sure why the commit didn;t happen. I made the change again and this time import change got pushed. Thanks for looking into it. Closing this topic
