Syntax error: insert "enum Identifier", insert "EnumBody", inset "}"
I have coded an enum type that throws the following syntax errors when running my generated JUnit test:
java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
Syntax error, insert "enum Identifier" to complete EnumHeaderName
Syntax error, insert "EnumBody" to complete EnumDeclaration
Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody
My enum type has static functions that return an enum constant for a particular string. Here are some of my enum type code:
public enum MusicType {
ACCIDENTAL, LETTER, OCTAVE, REST, DUR, CHORD, TUPLET;
public static MusicType is_accidental(String a){
if (a=="^" | a=="_"|a=="=")
return ACCIDENTAL;
else return null;
}
}
The rest of my static functions are very similar (i.e. is_letter
, is_octave
etc.), although some use a function input.matches(regex)
instead of checking to see if an input matches a particular string.
Here is the start of a JUnit test that tests the function associated with a random constant:
public class MusicTypeTest {
@Test
public void accidentalTest(){
String sharp = "^";
String flat = "_";
String natural = "=";
assertEquals(MusicType.ACCIDENTAL, MusicType.is_accidental(sharp));
assertEquals(MusicType.ACCIDENTAL, MusicType.is_accidental(flat));
assertEquals(MusicType.ACCIDENTAL, MusicType.is_accidental(natural));
}
}
The other functions in my JUnit test that test all static enum functions are coded in a similar way. I can't figure out why I have these syntax errors (this is my first time coding for an enum type). I have been coding in Eclipse and have not found any missing "yet."

I was getting this error while writing an android app. All of my parentheses were closed; I followed an example from another site. In the end, I selected all the text for my code, cut, saved and pasted the code back. The error is gone. It is very possible that Eclipse is stuck ...
