in pom.xml while implementing setters and getters are working but while debugging i am facing issues like

D:\employee_management\src\main\java\com\asheef\employee_management\service\EmployeeServiceImpl.java:46:28 java: cannot find symbol symbol: method getFirstName() location: variable employeeDto of type com.asheef.employee_management.dto.EmployeeDto

This is my employeeDto class

package com.asheef.employee_management.dto;

import lombok.AllArgsConstructor;
import lombok.Getter;
import lombok.NoArgsConstructor;
import lombok.Setter;

import java.util.Date;

@Setter
@Getter
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
public class EmployeeDto {

    private String id;

    private String firstName;

    private String lastName;

    private String email;

    private String phoneNumber;

    private Date dateOfBirth;

    private String gender;

    private String addressLine1;

    private String addressLine2;

    private String city;

    private String state;

    private String country;

    private Date createdAt;

    private Date updatedAt;
}

and i am trying to get the variable in the service class

but i am facing issue which i mentioned in the Problem body

if (employeeDto.getFirstName() == null || employeeDto.getFirstName().isEmpty()){
                errorResponse = new ErrorStructure(employeeDto.getFirstName(), Constants.NAME_SHOULD_NOT_BE_NULL,Constants.FIRST_NAME);
                errors.add(errorResponse);
            } else if (employeeDto.getFirstName().length() < 3 || employeeDto.getFirstName().length() > 50 ) {
                errorResponse = new ErrorStructure(employeeDto.getFirstName(),Constants.NAME_SHOULD_NOT_BE_GREATER_THAN_FIFTY_AND_LESS_THAN_THREE,Constants.FIRST_NAME);
                errors.add(errorResponse);
            } else {
                employeeModel.setFirstName(employeeDto.getFirstName());
                mySqlEmployee.setFirstName(employeeDto.getFirstName());
            } 

Additionally i am using Java 11 and Maven 3.9.9

can anyone help me to solve this issue
