[NETBEANS-4099] Console does not allow input with Scanner class / Gradle Project

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Fixed
• Affects Version/s: 11.0, 11.2, 11.3
• Labels: Console Java Netbeans Scanner input

Environment

I've tried on both Macbook Pro with macOS Catalina and Windows 10 and get the same issue even though the Netbeans IDE and Java SE Development Kit are compatible. When I try the code on Eclipse, it works perfect which shows that there is not an issue with the code, the issue is with Netbeans. Must be some configuration not allowing input from the user in a console.

Description

When using the scanner class, Netbeans 11.0, 11.2 and 11.3 still does not allow user input in the console like the scanner class should normally do. Here is a link to a similar issue and it has not been resolved https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-3073

I get the following error. 

> Task :run FAILED> Task :run FAILEDEnter your ageException in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException: No line found at java.util.Scanner.nextLine(Scanner.java:1540) at gradleproject1.Main.main(Main.java:23)

• Try:Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

 

I have tried with both Java SE Development Kit 11(LTS) and 8u241 on Netbeans 11.0, 11.2 and the latest 11.3 Apache version and I still get the same error.

Here is some simple code below that works in Eclipse but not in Netbeans because of this issue. 

import java.util.Scanner;

/**

* @author noahavelar
*/
public class Main {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter your age");
int theNumber = Integer.parseInt(input.nextLine());

System.out.println(theNumber);

System.out.println("Enter your name");
String myName = input.nextLine();

System.out.println(myName);

 

}

}
