Intellij doesn't see the generated class by MapStruct

Question

When I use MapStruct in spring-boot it generates an impl class and I want to have access on that file to import in unit test but intellij doesn't see it

@SpringBootTest(classes={OrderMapperImpl.class})

and I got error

Can't find a symbol OrderMapperImpl

did you check [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45275382/how-to-write-junit-test-for-mapstruct-abstract-mapper-injected-via-spring) related question. — gokhanbirincii, Nov 25 '18 at 11:55
yes and it doesn't work because of intellij doesn't recognize the OrderMapperImpl because it is a generated class — Khaled Ahmed, Nov 25 '18 at 12:21
How does the the pom declaration look like and which IntelliJ version are you using? — Filip, Nov 25 '18 at 13:22

You can tell IntelliJ to pick up mapstructs generated classes as source files by right-clicking on the directory target/generated-sources/annotations > Mark directory as... > Generated Sources Root.

If you have configured another output path you need to choose that instead.
