Overridden method does not throw exception

[Ankush Thakur]

I have run into a number of problems when trying to schedule periodic tasks with Play Framework (2.5.10) actors. In this email I describe the first one. I defined an actor like this in my application:

package services.ecwid.db;

import akka.actor.UntypedActor;

public class UserImportActor extends UntypedActor {

public static final String ACTOR_NAME = "user_import_actor";

@Override

public void onReceive(Object message) throws Exception{

}

}

I'm using the IntelliJ IDE, and it tells me that there's an error in the onReceive() method: 'onReceive(Object)' in 'services.ecwid.db.UserImportActor' clashes with 'onReceive(Object)' in 'akka.actor.UntypedActor'; overridden method does not throw 'java.lang.Exception'.

I have no clue what's going on! Please help.

Regards,

Try just compiling it : 

activator compile

If that works, it's an IntelliJ issue. I've seen the code completion being wrong on multiple occasions.
