EmbeddedKafka在IntelliJ社区版失效，VSCode可正常运行求助
我运行Spring Cloud Stream的Kafka Streams分支单词计数测试类时，VSCode中正常执行，但在IntelliJ社区版里报错：
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.springframework.kafka.test.EmbeddedKafkaBroker.getBrokersAsString()" because "embeddedKafka" is null
堆栈信息如下：

解决方案：
切换测试运行器
右键测试类→Run→Edit Configurations，确认运行器为Spring Boot Test而非普通JUnit。Spring Boot测试运行器会正确处理@EmbeddedKafka注解，初始化EmbeddedKafkaBroker实例。同步依赖并重新构建
执行Maven的clean install或Gradle的clean build，然后点击IntelliJ右侧依赖面板的刷新按钮，确保Spring Kafka Test相关依赖完整加载。检查注解配置
确认测试类上的@EmbeddedKafka注解参数正确，比如指定必要的分区数、Broker端口等，示例：@EmbeddedKafka(partitions = 1, brokerProperties = { "listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092", "port=9092" })禁用并行测试
打开Settings→Build, Execution, Deployment→Build Tools→Maven→Runner，取消勾选"Parallel run"；或在测试运行配置的"Configuration"标签页，关闭"Parallel execution"，避免资源竞争导致Broker未初始化。清除缓存重启
点击File→Invalidate Caches...→选择"Invalidate and Restart"，清除IntelliJ缓存后重启，解决类加载异常问题。
