Both creating a nested class and creating a class in a separate file did not work

Question about the task

Under discussion

Creating a nested class fails the 3rd task condition with the error: "Be sure that the program has a Cat class." Creating the Cat class in its own Cat.java file fails the 3rd task condition with the error: "Be sure the Cat class is public."

package en.codegym.task.pro.task11.task1116; /* Correct class */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { Cat cat = new Cat(); System.out.println(cat.name); } // public static class Cat { // String name = "Tom"; // } }

Exact same error here - the code compiles & runs fine, but fails validation for... reasons? I don't know if the validator is having scope issues, and can't see other public classes in the same package as Solution. I can verify that this task fails if: public class Cat has its own .java file public static class Cat is nested inside the Solution class public class Cat is inside the Solution class (requires creating an instance of Solution) Console output is "Tom" in all 3 cases. And the failure reasons given (in order): "Be sure the Cat class is public" "Be sure that the program has a Cat class" "Be sure that the program has a Cat class"

reset the assignment. Make sure you do not add or remove anything from the starting code. Just do exactly what the assignment says. I don't have any access to pro tasks so I don't know what the code started as. Some thoughts on why: It may be as simple as the "//FILE CREATED ON: 5/30/22" at the top of the Cat class. This is probably added by your IDE, but if the validation checks that line one is the package info and fails otherwise it may not be even able to tell you why. Also, is setting the name to "Tom" of new Cat objects something that you added or was already there?
