Thread: File Errors

Hello. I'm trying to get this code to work and I need help with the RandomLocation method.

package boardgametester;
 
import games.board.*;
import games.utilities.*;
 
public class BoardGameTester {
 
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        RandomLocation rl = new RandomLocation();
        Board ticTacToe = new Board(3,3);
 
        ticTacToe.setCell(Mark.CROSS, Mark.NOUGHT, rl.getRandom(3), rl.getRandom(3));
 
        System.out.println("TIC TAC TOE BOARD");
        System.out.println(ticTacToe.toString());
 
        Board connectFour = new Board(6,7);
 
        connectFour.setCell(Mark.YELLOW, Mark.RED, rl.getRandom(6), rl.getRandom(7));
 
        System.out.println("CONNECT FOUR BOARD");
        System.out.println(connectFour.toString());
 
        Board mastermind = new Board(5,8);
 
        mastermind.setCell(Mark.YELLOW, Mark.RED, Mark.GREEN, Mark.BLUE, Mark.MAGENTA, Mark.ORANGE, rl.getRandom(5), rl.getRandom(8));
 
        System.out.println("MASTERMIND BOARD");
        System.out.println(connectFour.toString());
 
FileManager.writeToFileAsync(connectFour.toString(),
"c4.txt");
 
FileManager.writeToFileAsync(ticTacToe.toString(),
"ttt.txt");
 
FileManager.writeToFileAsync(mastermind.toString(),
"mm.txt");
}
}
 
 
 
 
run:

That says there is a compile error in the code but it does not clearly say what the error is.
Can you copy the error message from the compiler that shows what the error is and paste it here?
The message should show the source with a ^ under the location of the error.
Here is a sample from the javac compiler:

TestSorts.java:138: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable var
location: class TestSorts
         var = 2;
         ^

Also Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

[code]
**YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
[/code]

to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

The error message refers to the setCell method. Check that the parameters passed to that method are correct.

I don't see anything like that in the compiler,

Your IDE is hiding and ignoring the compiler error messages until it tries to execute the bad statement.

Yes that looks like it.
The error messages says the compiler can not find the method getRandom that takes an int arg in the class RandomLocation.
Check that class's definition to see if defines that method with that arg.
