Neo4j OGM doesn't read parent class fields of entity classes.

See original GitHub issue

I have a common entity class as following.

import org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.GraphId;

public abstract class Entity {

    @GraphId
    private Long gid;

}

And my User entity class extends it.

class User extends Entity {

    String uuid = Application.uuid()
    String username
    String password

}

But it cannot find gid field in User class and for this reason it throws following exception:

Hello Guys,

I was having the same problem, then i realized that my super class was in a package that wasn’t in the @EntityScan path. When I move my base class to any package that was in the @EntityScan path, it works.

Hope it helps. []s
