'Cannot find symbol' when trying to create a slab

Issue description

I tried both the snapshot version and the release version. The attached workspace file was for the Fabric 1.16.1 generator, but I have attempted it on the Forge 1.15.2 generator too and got the same result. Any slab I try to create, no matter the name or texture or other properties, always fails to compile and spits out a 'cannot find symbol'. This is my first day using this so I'm not trying to make anything complicated. Full blocks, stairs, fences, etc. work but slabs do not.

Issue comments

This is Fabric plugin so report a bug to developers of Fabric plugin, not here.

It is almost impossible you get same error on Forge so provide log for Forge, also provide example workspace for Forge.

I have attached a new forge workspace, suffering from the same issue.

Delete the entire <your user home folder>/.mcreator/gradle folder, create a new workspace with the same generator version as the version of the workspace failing, after the setup of this new workspace is done, open your current workspace, and click Build & run -> Build workspace, then Build & run -> Reload gradle project and then Build & run -> Regenerate code and build.

It worked for forge but not for fabric, I'll turn to the plugin's tracker. Didn't mean to be that guy you had to copy and paste FAQs for. Thought I'd done it all but I somehow managed to miss those last few Build & run steps. Thanks a bunch!

For Fabric it is different error, likely due to generator error. Make sure to give them the workspace when reporting the bug.
